My babies ;)

Image
By
Babies require an extraordinary amount of care. I realize that is a complete "duh" statement, but it's been a few years for me, so bear with me.

No, I haven't had a baby recently, but I have noticed that growing plants from seed also requires A LOT of care.

Wanna see my babies? Thought so :) Even if you didn't want to, I'm so proud of them that I can't help myself. I took these pictures this morning. I have to take them outside so they can enjoy the sunshine every day, and bring them all in at night so they can stay warm. And, of course, I have to check them every three hours and admire them, even though there's actually almost nothing to admire ... yet!

This is the whole "kit 'n kaboodle"--my gardening table outside. See them enjoying the sunshine? ;)


These are some of my seedlings:





I love the shape of the new hollyhock leaf. It's so interesting that each seedling looks so unique.
I'm sooooo excited! I can't wait till I plant them in our yard. Tomorrow I'll post pics of our "jungle" backyard and our dismally boring front yard. Then later in the summer I'll do a little "before and after" :)

Missing You

By
We've been having internet problems since last Friday evening. It goes on and off sporadically. Someone should be coming today to fix it (and of course it's working perfectly right now, lol!). I don't usually blog in the middle of the day (too much house stuff to do) , but I gotta grab the internet while I can. I'm desperate! It has actually startled me to realize how connected I am to all of you--even you, Ronalyn, and I have never met you. I have so missed reading blogs, commenting on them, and posting. I have really felt disconnected to you all (yeah, I'm a "recovered hick" but I can't erase that expression from my vocabulary--however, I don't say, "y'all." I do draw the line there. Sorry if I'm offending anyone--as in my sister and brother-in-law, but I don't consider you guys hicks.) . So I hope the person who comes to repair the internet issue can perform a miracle so I don't have to miss you anymore :)

A Rare Moment Captured on Film

By
No, it's not a rare moment that my kids brush their teeth (well, it would be if left up to them!). I walked into the bathroom tonight to see both my kids in the bathroom brushing their teeth ... and this is the rare moment--they actually got along! I had to run and get my camera to document this rare moment of parental bliss. And now I'm sharing it with you. Now isn't your day more complete?!

Just another day ...

By
Today was a full day. The workers put in our patio door ... sooooooooo excited to have this door!!! The pictures look much less than impressive b/c I didn't take time to play around with them in Photoshop (CSI: Miami is on so I'm glued to the T.V, plus I have a huge load of laundry to fold still). I'm so thrilled to have this door that, good pic or not, I have to share. Like I said, we've never done anything like this before, so every little thing excites me beyond belief :-D They worked on it all day, having to break out a rather large section of the wall, take out a window and door, and move our electrical outlet and porch light. And as you can tell, they have to finish tomorrow. This is the view from the inside: This is the view from the outside: It was strange to have them in my house. But apparently, in deference to my "feminine ears," they decided to refrain from using their Spanish cuss words. That was nice :) Plus our washer is on the blink (has bee...
