What we did on our holiday weekend....

On Friday it was Crayon day...she was the only yellow.  Pretty nifty how the bus in the background looks like a crayola box.  And that was her idea.  She is at the very cusp of beginning to outsmart/think me.  Gulp.

On Saturday we spent the whole afternoon at Island 22, geocaching, finding 7 out of 8.  That place is a pretty cool place to walk around. I've only ever gone there to hop on a boat to get to Grassy Bar.  




This is how our garden looks right now, unplanted, except for the raspberries and leeks.  And it's THE weekend. 'The garden gets planted' weekend.  Not this year.  Maybe in a couple weeks or so.  It's still pretty nippy out there at night.









I made up these 4 hanging baskets for Matt's 88-ish year old customer.  It was very fun.  It's a bit nerve-wracking to do something that somebody has put out an order for.  I've never worked with moss and wire hanging baskets before.  They smell delectable, so if the old lady is blind then she can at least smell them. ok, maybe that wasn't nice.  :)





Leanne, you would be so proud.  I started these tomatoes out as seeds....some from the ones you gave me last year.  I figured maybe a few might come up.  Hmm.  There's 41 pots with healthy tomato plants growin' like stink and 11 pepper plants.  Good thing I love tomatoes!

Anyway, that's our long weekend in a nutshell.  Hope yours was fun too! 

(Karen, you're hilarious.  I got your 'request to blog' poem.  And it worked, I'm your first sucker:)

You have a lot longer growing season than we have and yet THE weekend is the same for both areas. I don't know if I will be having a garden at all but the raspberry bushes are alive. I will have to decide VERY soon.

Remember how much you loved that handfull of fresh beans a couple years ago (or was it last year?)? It's worth it...even if it is just beans and carrots:)
