100/365 Gardening and bread

My square foot garden us up and filled. Already planted some tomatoes - can't wait for them to grow!



Seedlings are going great too!





Parsley and herbs are doing well



How about this calabaza? Anyone want one???????????



I made homemade bread tonight. You can find the recipe here.





We put the finishing touches on the night stand today with a minor mistake. Upon moving it into the bedroom - it was dinged against a drawer. Unfortunately, that area needs to be redone, so final picture will be up tomorrow.

99/365 Furniture and gardens

What do they have to do with each other? Well on this 99th day of the year - plenty! Today was a day for projects. Matt built me a square foot garden and I refinished a night stand.

Here is Matt and the garden frame





My refinishing project.

The before





During - with a coat of primer





Final coat - glossy white



I love this view with our flowering weeds in the background. They are so simple and pretty and they made me happy!







The garden was built - but we'll fill it tomorrow.

I took some photos while Matt drove us to a friends house tonight. Just held on tightly and clicked out the window - not really focusing on anything.











Sweet puppy!

97/365 Flowers

I'm getting ready for my garden and just loved these marigolds. Not only do they attract lady bugs (which eat aphids), but they also are a natural mosquito deterrent. Plus - they are so happy looking!





These are the lovely tulips my mom gave me for Easter. They are fading quickly, but I'm enjoying every moment with them.

96/365 Hanging out with Charles and Aubrey

During spring break, we got the chance to spend time with Charles and Aubrey.

They recently redecorated one of the areas in their house and transformed it into a zen, meditation room. Love the colorful piles of pillows.



It is American Idol night, and while we've never really watched it - Charles and Aubrey love it. They have been doing theme nights lately. Since the American Idols were singing songs of the Beatles, the theme for this week was bugs. Charles wore his big shirt and decorated with some of his buggy superhero action figures.



Getting ready for the show to start





Charles is taking notes of each performance to blog later... you can read it here.







I was able to sneak in a pedicure during spring break - yay!

95/365 STS 131 - Discovery takes off

Shuttle Discovery took off very early this morning and I was standing in my front yard half asleep to witness it.





Right about here is when the sonic boom reached me - 75 miles away





Book run

94/365 Easter 2010

It's Easter and we celebrated by going to a church who held one large service outside. We brought our own chairs, settled on the lawn with a bunch of people and had a great time.







They had some guys take an aerial shot - but they balanced them with no restraints on the tines of a forklift and then drove it around! Very dangerous.



A house divided


I guess it's just not church unless there is an air gun?





After the service - everyone got to admire the cupcakes people brought for a cute cupcake competition.

Love the little chocolate bunnies


The basket weave is so pretty on these


Peep cakes


Giant cupcake with cookies


Bunny peeps


Hatching peeps


They also had some sidewalk chalk and a chance for the little ones to create some art
