pinkfpuffy.agave.seeds
beautiful little puff balls that are blooming on our fairy duster plant and our variegated agave with its pretentious sharp blades.
here is a picture of our front yard with our new bed of fresh dirt in the foreground. we planted it full of lettuce and spinach seeds in hopes to share the bounty with our interested friends and neighbors. we made a pattern out of the lettuce and spinach seeds.....i hope it turns out.
wee little sproutlings
when my folks were visiting we planted winter veggies in our garden: a couple varieties of spinach, black seeded simpson (my favorite lettuce), red leaf lettuce, baby carrots, and a couple different varieties of beets. it was great to have mom and dad helping out as i remember helping with a garden when i was growing up. we planted them on a tuesday evening and by saturday morning i was giddy to see a few wee little sprouts had pushed their way thru the top surface of the soil. oh, sweet little sprouts..work your magic!!!

oh serro scotty, where are you now??
chris and i bought this serro scotty "fixer upper" trailer several years ago with plans to give it a bit of much needed tlc and then take it out on the open road. yeah, hahahahaha, that didn't happen! we sold it when we bought our house...we figured we would have our hands full with projects for some time to come. every time i see a picture of the scotty it tugs at my heart strings. it would be such a grand adventure to be able to take this on a few road trips when the weather is nice. ahh, someday we'll have a new little zoomer to pull along and snuggle down under the stars.
i guess it's in my blood.....here is my great grandma (gaga), great grandpa (papa cook) and my uncle cameron...i would guess in the 50's. i love old pictures.....this one is a favorite of mine.
