IN THE KITCHEN

Check out this photo of my green onions, they are pretty big considering little Guy and I put them in 2 weeks ago.

Thankful Thursdays

It's thursday and with it comes thoughts of thankfulness that we have made it through the biggest part of the week. Today I am thankful for my family. I am truly blessed in having a wonderful hubby and awesome, talented child. Yesterday we spent the day at the Washington Zoo. Here are a few photos of our outing. Little guy was a trooper, we were able to see all the amazing animals. And here is a short video of a monkey climbing right above our heads:

Wednesdays Work

Got projects to work on around the house? I sure do, I have lots of big and little things on my to do list.

One small project is converting all my old photos to digital format. Just finished one of my wedding albums recently. It was nice going through all those photos. I have been married for quite a while. Now I can stop worrying about those photos fading. And I can post them here if I want to...stay tuned...

One larger project is getting our yard looking it's best. I don't know about you, but where I live, we pay ALOT for water. So a pretty yard usually means a high water bill.

On the move Mondays

April showers have been abundant around here lately. We had a lovely Easter weekend spend with family.

Lots of blooms around here these days. The dogwood is blooming nicely. The azaleas are ready to pop with their color, and the lilac bushes are wide awake. Tulips are wide awake. And did I tell you I love pink and purple? Well, I do! Especially when it comes to flowers.


Annual Garden Update:
The Onion sets are in and I can see a hint of green peeking up through the ground.
Lettuce is next - the seeds are calling me - maybe this weekend.

Stock the Freezer Project:
