Cheater post

I found these darling little printable notecards from Jones Design Company today when I was searching for something to print for Adeline's birthday thank you notes. They have lots more to offer on their site (including some fun flower-themed tutorials on the blog), and when you have a cheap source for ink, something you can reprint 5000 times (if you want) is the way to go!

In other news, I am heading to Florida tomorrow with Cooper in tow. Just the two of us (and my sister and her kids). I think this is the first time since I've been married that I left to spend a week with my parents while my husband stayed home to spend a week with his parents. My in-laws are staying at my house to watch over the younger two (and cook, and do projects around the house, no doubt). I think a fun time will be had by all, but I'm not sure I will know what to do with just one very capable 5 year old.

the count

35 tomato plants
20 white onions
16 red onions
10 garlic 
8 each green peppers, leeks, swiss chard, beets, cucumbers
6 red peppers
4 each spinach, red leaf lettuce, green leaf lettuce, swiss chard
3 thyme
2 basil
1 1/2 cilantro
1 very bad sunburn (just in time for my trip to Florida!)

Still to plant: green beans, corn, radishes, squash.

I'm obviously feeling much better, but if I want to stay that way I'd better get to bed. Lots of pictures and more (somewhat) interesting posts coming.

Dear blog...

I know we've been on a long break, but I think I'm ready to commit. My affections have been elsewhere, although I haven't forgotten about you. BUT, the EVERY DAY IN MAY blog challenge will soon be here, and I think it will be just what I need to fan the flames of my love/hate relationship with you.

Here's where my heart (and time) have been these last few months:

 















All the other pictures need to be taken off the camera, but that gives me something for next week, right? See you then!
