Blooming rosebush

The rosebush next to the front door is blooming!

Fantastic birthday weekend!

Resting up from a fantastic birthday weekend. Lovely family dinner on Saturday complete with the surprise attendance of my fairy-godmother, dinner at Burdick's delicious chocolate, strawberries, whipped cream, angelfood cake, exquisite coffee. A restful day at home while Joe was off at drill on Sunday and then cooking, relaxing, purging no-longer-wanted stuffs from the house, and having a last night with my man before he leaves for VA for three weeks.

I'm excited to read Amy Stuarts new book which was a birthday gift from my grandparents.Here's her little preview for the book:



Watered my new garden beds filled with birthday-present veggie plants with my shiny new cherry red watering can. :)

hooray for birthday revelry!

Yarn and gardens and and and! - Farmstead Raised Beds

After a fantastic few days in New Hampshire that resulted in a FULL car load of dirt, top soil, llama beans, plants, two raised bed kits (picture not my garden) plus my dog and me :) I hit the annual tent sale at Webs. :drool:

I managed to only spend about $75 on yarn and needles and now have lots of deliciously soft and vibrantly colored yarns for exciting new projects now I just have to find time to do all of this delightful knitting and to actually dig up a couple patches of lawn!

wahoo!

Yippee!

House is looking great - the spare room is turning into an office for Joe, there is significantly less dog hair, dishes are clean, apron is still great :D and a fantastically positive (if brief) visit from my aunt as she blew through town.

:)

on to other things!
