The Garden of Eden

In our backyard, that is.  Tomatoes are popping up, peas will be coming soon, and we’ve been eating our own mint, cilantro, and basil for a couple weeks now.  I made a basil pesto to go with freshly made pasta last week – yum!  I will never get over the miracle of plants – if you plant them, they will grow!  We are planning on planting some pumpkin and squash seeds in an unused and very sunny side of our garage.  Our next mission is to get some cherry tomato plants at the Eastern Market this Saturday and then plant away!  I will probably post a few pictures of the yard with our little patch of paradise next time.  Yes, winter is over!!

In other news, I have been away so long due to a health scare (hopefully resolved soon!) with Fiance, which takes priority over everything else.  Before the health scare, though, we went up north to check out the wedding site and got some vendors locked in.  This may be a bit repetitive, but I am so much more at ease knowing there will be music, flowers, and other things that are kind of necessary at weddings…particularly ministers!

Hope your weather is as good as ours!

In Praise of Cohabitation

 

I just wanted to give props to my handsome, dashing Fiance, who just finished installing a ceiling fan in our bedroom!  So romantic!  He sleeps with this fan on his bedside table, and it kind of gets on my nerves sometimes, so he agreed to not use it during the winter (makes sense right?  It’s cold!).  Now that the weather is warm, though, the fan has reared its unsightly head and constant whir.  At Lowes the other day, we happened across a sale price for a ceiling fan, went for it, and despite Fiance’s recent problem with dizzy spells, he installed the thing almost immediately.  Whether it’s his love for me or his love for all things Fan that drove him to such motivated efficiency, I’m happy.  Now if I can fully wean him off the bedside fan…

Here’s to living with a Handy Man!
