Weekend Recap

Before Mono struck me like a brick wall, I had planned on finishing up our garden this weekend.  So while I was downing fluids, my mom, Conor, & Liam got their green thumb on!  I had already planted all my flowers in my front beds, but my pots for the back deck were still unfinished.  My mom knows what I like (mostly purples & whites), so she made a trip to the nursery and picked out some beautiful stuff for them.  I love how they turned out; she did a much better job than I would have.  I'm a still learning from the master...  Now to wait and watch everything fill in!

Meanwhile Conor built a huge planter box for the backyard!  The man is skilled!  Most of backyard is shaded (which is wonderful when the temps are consistently in the 90s & 100s), but that makes it difficult to have a big vegetable garden.  He built the planter in a portion of our yard that gets full sun, so I think it will thrive.  Tomatoes, herbs, beans, carrots, garlic, onions, zucchini, lettuce, & everything in between, oh my!  Once again, my mom threw in her expertise (like adding marigolds to keep the bugs off your veggies) & Liam supervised.

They also hit up the first farmer's market of the season!  I was so sad to miss this as I had been looking forward to it!  They snatched up some fresh pastries, produce, & farm eggs while Liam "pet the body" of many little animals!  

Thanks for all your well wishes last week! I am feeling a bit better each day & hoping to have a full recovery in record timing.
