An Exercise in Futility

I know I live in AZ. I know that very shortly it will be over a 100 degrees here. I know, I know. But I really, really wanted a vegetable garden. So, allow me to dream. I put them by the wall, so that they would be out of the hot sun for a good portion of the day. We are planting, beans, tomatoes, peppers, cucumber, zucchini, chives and the basil and parsley that were already there. I have another Earthbox on the way for the stuff I couldn't fit in this one. And I also got one of those strawberry containers too.

I know the tags say "full sun" for many of these vegetables. I am guessing, they were not talking about AZ full sun when those tags were written. But despite the odds against us, we are trying anyway.

Charlie and I had fun going and picking out the vegetables. And we had fun planting them. He even got his own little Elmo gardening kit to help.

So keep your fingers crossed. Not only will it be ultra hot here, but I have no idea what I am doing. What could possibly go wrong?

Lucky

I had a wonderful Mother's Day morning. It was very low key, but Shawn made a wonderful breakfast of Belgian waffles, strawberries, bacon, hash browns, eggs and coffee. It was so yummy. He also picked up some flowers. They boys made me cards at school. They were so sweet and I loved them.





Later today, we will be meeting up with Shawn's family to have an early dinner and then our mother's day activities will be complete.

Music On Main

Every few weeks, our town has live music on the green. I met up with my friend Mary and her two little ones, to listen to some reggae and watched the kids play. A very nice way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

Logic

The other night Shawn, (trying to make fun of me) told AJ he should never marry a woman that likes IHOP. AJ, without missing a beat asked him: "What if she owns the IHOP?"

Love that kid- and not just because he will go out for breakfast with me. :)

Easter

Easter was fun this year. We had some friends over for brunch on Saturday to dye eggs. Then the next morning, we hunted for eggs and then later went to our friends house for dinner and another egg hunt. Here are some pictures:
