shopping therapy

If you saw my recent garden posts then you know I'm really happy and excited to have little things growing in my yard.  Everything above would fit right along with the working out in our "garden".   Some things are for my little guy so he can join me and be as occupied and happy as me.  

1. this hat - I love it  2. gardening journals from amazon here, here, here  3. Burt's Bees cuticle cream and miracle salve.  I've used both and love them for repairing those gardening hands and nails  4. little gardening tool set for Odin  5. gathering basket  6. kids wheel barrow - so darling  7.  klean kanteen water bottles we love and I want all three of these.  Is that too much to ask?  hehe.  

playing in the dirt

We had such  good time with my dad.  I was so impressed with the time he took to come visit and shop for us in between his work commitments.  He's the best.  I was so grateful that he repotted all of the plants.  I'm glad I got to help out a bit even if it was just taking plastic wrappers off the pots and then watering the potted plants like a true prissy girl.  It felt just like when I was little (minus the prissy part, that has definitely been a new - blame it on city living - addition to my mannerisms) and I'd follow behind him as he tilled the garden.  The soil under my bare feet was just so lovely, cool and perfectly ready for planting.  Ah, those childhood memories, I do cherish those.  I love gardening and it is never better than with my dad.

At 33 weeks its fun to have a new due date of sorts.  I mean that now I can look forward to 2 or so months when these plants will bare fruit.  This helps me cope with the discomfort and large size I am and will continue to deal with for the next several weeks.  I'm so glad I have this lovely distraction.

Thanks Dad for the time and energy spent!

getting ready for a garden

My dad set us up with our own little backyard garden.  I am so glad he did because at the rate I am going with it, there was just no way it was going to get done.  Now we have tomatoes, cucumbers, basil, and cilantro to plant and arrange on my little shelf outside.  We still need to plant them and arrange them just so but I am so excited to have fresh veggies to look forward to this summer that my dad and I planted.  I love gardening with me dad!

*  Odin loved our little adventure to Home Depot.  I can't wait to get it all planted!
