Memorial Day Weekend

I spent the holiday weekend mostly at home: gardening and relaxing in the backyard. I got off work early on Friday and the weather was beautiful and sunny so I hung out in the backyard with a book and a beer and a pug :)




Saturday I bought some potted plants for my planter: Lavender, Bleeding hearts and something that resembles purple daisys.




On Monday I worked on the herb garden I've been wanting to start all spring. I potted sweet basil, cinnamon basil and lemon balm plants. I also planted seeds for cherry tomatoes, brussels sprouts, patty-pan squash, cilantro, and chives.




All this to go along with my already sprouting strawberry plants.



We'll see how it goes!

Mother's Day outing

First of all, Happy Mother's Day to all the moms and fur-baby moms! I spent the day with my mom at her house in the country: cooking out, hiking in the woods, having a few drinks...

I took my pug-daughter out there with me and she had a great time running around in the woods, barking at the horses (those are some BIG dogs!), and stirring up trouble with my parent's dog and cat.
