Oh the ....

.... sorrow, yet, oh the ...

... JOY!


Though the frost killed off my cherry tomato plant, I can rejoice that I FINALLY have sproutlings from my carrots! These little fellows made my day, I also got around to planting my blueberry plant in my garden table, even as hesitant as I was to put something that has LARGE potential in something that isn't meant for such growth. We'll see how it works, but for now, I'm hopeful!

Sibling love = Mommy's blessing

Every year when it draws near to Noah's birthday, I'm reminded that Kenna is also that much older! It's hard to look at the 2 and remind myself that they aren't babies anymore. But oh the joy I get to experience when pictures like this show me just how beautiful they are!

And their love for each other makes me smile inside! So many days I catch them cuddling or hugging each other and it just melts my heart ... my new favorite song reminds me "...in the middle of my little mess, I forget how big I'm blessed..." ... and looking at this reminds me of no less! I am blessed :)

Plant Love

Here's what I've been working on -


On the top I planted carrots from seeds (which makes me VERY nervous!), the middle and bottom left are strawberry plants, the middle right is a cherry tomato plant, and the bottom right is spinach from seed (also very nerve-racking!).

Top - red lettuce, middle - romaine lettuce, bottom - bonnie spinach

And the ever so bothersome blueberry plant that I desperately wanted! On the tag it says it can grow up to 5-8 FEET! Shocking to me, someone who has never dealt with blueberries, except for in the grocery store! For now it remains in the planter it came in ... where shall I plant this supposed BEAST?!

Letter D

I'm finally getting around to posting the pictures of our continued Letter of the Week curriculum (I say that as if I'm good at this! HA!). But here they are! Now, if only I can get my act together to move onto E :)
