If I could, I would spend all the money I earn on plants... so if you are a potential wedding client you must know that your money would be helping replenish the Earth of oxygen. :)

Today I gave myself a specific allotment of time to spend at the local nursery because I do have work to do... and well, I just got to chatting about perennials and annuals with the plant expert and by the time I loaded my new treasures into my jeep, 45 minutes had passed!!! Thats 45 minutes that will be spent making up lost editing time tonight.

I am SUPER proud of my progress thus far. I am no horticulturist but I am having the BEST time raising these little guys from seedlings... I am a mother at last :)

I love my patio garden, especially my cedar boxes Brian built for me

tending to my tomatoes

I counted 10 today!

ok, so the basil is taking it's own sweet time... but I know it will be worth it in the end when I make fresh lasagna with it!

Dill

my flower garden on the left, and my chocolate mint on the right!-   the mint smells delicous!! :)

Today I planted another batch of cilantro (we ate it all) ... I'll post some pics as soon as they pop up!

What a beautiful day...

Yesterday was my dear friend Megan's birthday! 

I wanted to do something fun, so I walked into the grocery store with flowers on my mind and came out with 4 random massive singing balloons.

Oh, you should have seen me walking around the store with these things each blaring their songs all at once, the Pirates of the Caribbean theme song, Elmo singing happy birthday, Miley Cyrus singing some song, and these weird mini barbie creatures playing a techno happy birthday... I was trying to thwart off my embarrassment as I began the check out process. :)

So Megan got her happy birthday balloons and I got some ice cream cake. All was fair.

Happy Birthday Meg! I love you :)

nothing like some homemade sangria on a summer night! 

ok, completely unrelated... 

I purchased a new macro lens and was trying it out on my own wedding ring... oh isn't it lovely :)

AND!! looky what we have here!!! :) Is that a tomato? After two months of babying my garden, a little tomato-ling has emerged! I feel as though I have accomplished something big!
