Had a little break from working on the house because we had some family weekends planned. One weekend we went back to NY, then last weekend it was down to CT. Alex got to play with all her cousins at various times and had a blast with Jason and baby Maddy both weekends. This weekend …
Well spring is most certainly in the air (let’s hope there aren’t any future frosts waiting to kill the plants that have sprouted early now!). And success – my tulip (and other) bulbs are popping up! Besides the crocus’ which I planted throughout the yard, I planted the larger bulbs in 3 locations – my …
Although did winter ever REALLY start this year?? Of course Fitz has already killed a few of these 🙂 But they are sprouting up nicely in the backyard, hopefully they sprout in the front/side yards too where there’s less sun. And I’m finding ‘holes’ in the yard where i’m sure the squirrels have figured out …
Well the veggie garden was miniscule this year and I completely forgot about my carrots! Although they were still doing just fine, I finally pulled them up this morning and this was what I got: Hehe, I don’t think the carrots liked the raised bed, probably would do better in the regular garden where they …
This weekend the weather was gorgeous and Ryan really took advantage. It was a little on the cool side at night but Saturday he got the first coat of paint on the diningroom window panels. While he painted I mowed the lawn, did the first round of leaf cleanup and then visited with Mom and …
We had a wonderful long weekend with family. We drove out to Lake Pleasant Friday, getting there in time for a quick boat ride and a late dinner. Saturday the rest of Ryan’s family showed up and we spent the day on the boat, it was very relaxing. Sunday it rained on and off all …
It’s been a crazy couple days but finally I can post with some pictures from this weekend. Friday night Ryan sanded and caulked the exterior window panels around the diningroom windows that have been half finished since last fall. Once the caulk was dry I primed them so they are more protected. At some point …
Well it’s the official start to our anniversary vacation and I’m going to spend the day quilting and relaxing to start off right! I actually started that last night 🙂 I walked around the garden (took 2 seconds) this morning and noticed my pepper is almost ready to pick! It turned orange! Looks like i’ll …
My little veggie garden experiment is in full swing. I planted only 3 vegetable plants just to see how I did with keeping them alive (I’m not very good at watering plants). The Roma tomatoes are doing great, one little plant has a ton of tomatoes and even some turning red! The Patio tomato has …
I’ve been a little busy lately and completely missed the fact that my daisies are blooming!!! I was jumping up and down when I noticed finally. I grabbed a few cell phone pictures on the way to work since it’s my only daylight time in the garden. Remember when I wasn’t sure what these two …
