Not So Fast, Peter

Crying Over Spilled Milk

Has anybody tried this?

Am I missing something? Is it really that difficult to use?

Sunday, Muddy Sunday

I lubed up, I bug sprayed up, I geared up and I planted my vegetables!

Besides the tomatoes, peppers, basil and marigolds, I also planted the seeds for the cucumbers, okra and cucumbers.

See that little patch in the gravel, up by the potting bench? Johnny Jump Ups. There were more but just a little bit of smiling faces had to be saved.

What a great feeling to finally get them into the garden. Now I just have to find homes for the extra kids. I might just put them into pots on my patio and deck, along with this guy.

It's a "Frizzle Sizzle" Pansy. I planted them a little late because when I put them out to harden off a lot of them fried in the sun. :-( I also planted some "Blueberry Sundae" Pansies but those haven't bloomed yet.

I also got knitting in, while I was busy with all of the nausea. I can't tell you what this KIP is because it's - SHHHHH! - a secret kinda thing. But I did enjoy using a bunch of my markers.

Which makes me want to kick my own butt for not taking pics of the 15 sets of markers I have made.

Oh camera crew!
