Garden on

Well, life has moved on. We were in wedding mode for months! It's nice to get back to focusing on normal life again. Heather and Jared are settling in to their home in New Hampshire. Both are back to work, but they had a marvelous honeymoon.

Last week I moved into garden mode. With everything going on this past year- floods in Australia, California. Bad weather in so many parts of the world that we get our food from, it's very worrysome to me. I had decided last fall not to have a garden this year. I started buying from Bountiful Baskets, which is a food co-op that offers great veggies and fruit, so I thought I really didn't need to have a garden. But with so many areas of our country flooded, or in drought, or frozen out, prices are going up and there are some things that may not even be available- so in goes the garden. Gina helped me plant onions and peas last Thursday, which was perfect because it was right before the rains came in. The bad weather absolutely crippled me, but it sure gave the garden a boost. As soon as the dirt dries out a bit, we'll plant some more stuff.

We are getting used to the idea that Dakota is moving soon, and trying to enjoy every minute that we get to see her. It's not enough!!! But, her stepdad found work, so I have to understand that they have to leave, at least for a while.
