Signs of Summer (and that we're done hibernating!)


Apologies for the lack of posts. We've had a lot on our minds!  Since we've last posted..
  • We've seen our baby's now 12 week heart beat three times!!
  • Dan finished school!! And started his manual labor job building patios.
  • We had practice parenting Allie (who is now 16 months) for two nights while Rebecca spent time with her family.
  • Jenny's family came and had a short visit, followed by a lot of sicky people.
  • We traveled to Ohio for Jill's shower and family time.
  • We harvested (and still are) a lot of romaine, kale and zucchini.
  • Dan got another job at Firebirds restaurant!
  • Dan got the organizational itch on his week off (I'm rubbing off on him) and bought a filing cabinet for all our junk...and he cleaned out the closet.
  • Jenny laid around pulling the pregnancy card taking naps, reading and sleeping in...

Our little praying friend, Mantis. He lives in the rosemary bush!

Dan's gay feathers... I mean, these are our gorgeous gayfeathers.

Our updated front lawn, with vincas, gayfeathers and dianthus!  

Allie playing in the tub!
Shes a cutie!

Our lush garden! Full of tomatoes, zucchini, peppers, squash, kale, collards, cabbage, cucumbers, herbs and more!
A little jalapeno! 

Heres a bowl of our bounty. The reason we have green tomatoes is that our stakes were not strong enough and they kept falling off... dont worry, I'll fry 'em up!

Your garden is fabulous. Don't you love cooking all that good food. Waiting to hear about the little Haller. Love your flower area too, of course. G-ma
