It's May! I'm really excited about that, for absolutely no good reason. May just seems like a good month. Might be the schools-almost-over(!!!) feeling that's ingrained in me brain. Speaking of, it's been almost a WHOLE YEAR since I was in the classroom. Holy moly. I've been sitting on my ass for a whole year. What a dreamy dream!
Garden update: things are growing! I was a little nervous for awhile, but it's comin' around. Some plants, like okra and green beans, are beasts - while others, like my poor carrots and basil, are struggling.
here she is!
In the next few days I have to play god and decide which plants to thin out (aka destroy) to make room for the best looking plants to grow. Seems harsh - my little babies that I've grown from seeds...if you're not looking plush, its the end of the game. Sorry.
I've also got about 10 pots of back-up seedlings growing. Basically I've got more plants than I know what to do with, so if anyone wants a seedling or twelve, let me know.
Along the same lines, I've been working on some curb appeal. The house came with some pretty bleak landscaping, so I've planted a bunch of rose bushes along the front beds, and stuck some potted plants on the front porch. I'm in love with my lavender plant the most.
I've never had a lot of success with keeping plants alive, but I figured out that the key is watering. Plants do so much better when I water them.
Baby steps.
In indoor news, I've decided to set up my creative space in our front room. Maybe not the most aesthetically pleasing (desk in front of the window - gasp!) but I just couldn't set up a room that had no real purpose. I think as Gummy gets older it'll transition into a play room area as well. I'm loving the natural lighting for painting, and Gilbert has claimed it as his favorite spot.
We haven't had many people over, but Luis and I want to have a housewarming party, soon. This month. Watch for an evite.
(Evite rant: PEOPLE. It is 2014. Email has been around forever and I KNOW you check that mess everyday. Don't ignore the evite. Read it. Look at your calendar. Respond. Seriously. I know you've seen it - it tells me when it's been viewed. I judge you, evite slackers. End rant.)
