Spring is in the Air...

... and I have been itching to do some gardening. Click here to see a cute post from two years ago when I was barely pregnant. That was our second year planting a vegetable garden. For obvious reasons, we had our hands a little too full last year to do any gardening. Instead, we got our fill of seasonal and delicious food from our CSA and the weekly farmer's market in Roslindale Square. This year we are hoping to ease back into things by spending lots of time in the backyard and on the back deck. Some hanging baskets would really spruce things up on the deck so we went out to Lowe's Garden Center first thing this morning. Unfortunately, they didn't have the coconut basket liners that we need, but we did have fun looking at the annuals and thinking about what to plant.





We're dealing with shade plants so our only real options are begonias and impatiens, but it's fun to look around anyway :) Hopefully I'll have some pictures of what we put together in the next week or two!

  1. I want a garden!!! I raided Alberto's parent's garden yesterday and brought home lots of fresh rosemary, sage and mint. She also gives us lettuce, and soon we'll have tomatoes, zucchini and eggplant. If I can't have one myself, the in-laws garden is the next best thing!

Silas' Blog

Well it's been a busy 3 years since I last posted! Stay tuned as we may have more posts coming now that it looks like I have a new contributor... Silas recently read a book called "Starting Your Own Blog", and now he is bound and determined for us to let him start his own blog! We convinced him that he should start out by drafting content and a posting calendar. We made templates this morning and he wrote his first "post" today!

Today

Today I went to a yoga class for the first time in far too many years. It felt wonderful and pushed me out of my comfort zone. I can't wait to go back! Today Derek gave Silas his traditional mid-summer haircut. Today the weather was perfect and we enjoyed bike rides (them) / a walk (me) in the park after lunch. Today Zoe chased the cats until they succumbed to her love and adoration. Today I put the garbage on the curb for weekly pickup and realized that we didn't have any! We recycle and compost far more than we throw away. I am grateful to be able to teach Zoe & Silas these habits. Empty trash barrel Countertop compost bin  Backyard compost bin that we bought at Town Hall Food compost, including the hair from Silas' haircut today! Today I checked on the rooftop vegetable patio garden - it's doing great! Today we went school supply shopping so that I can enjoy the last month of summer without worrying abou...

Summer Nights

As we hit the end of July we are relishing the relaxed summer nights around here. Walks to the corner store after work- Kitten snoozes in the window- Playing outside after dinner- And after dinner bike rides in the park aplenty. The best part is when they ride down the "big hill" out of the woods and we make the loop home. These are the days.
