Spring Wednesday Hodgepodge 3/21

 

1. The first day of spring is here...do you enjoy working in the yard? Weeding, raking, mowing, planting-your favorite springtime garden chore? How about your least favorite? 

I love planting my own garden... I did it a little too early this year and a cold front came through and killed all the baby plants so I have to start all over again. :( I hate mowing! 

These guys I started last year and finally have peppers now. :D

2. What puts a spring in your step? 

Right now I am excited because my in laws are coming for a visit. We live so far away from everyone and no one has come to visit since we married so its exciting! 

3. Describe a time when you had to spring into action?

I couldnt resist putting this comic here... The chickens are "Springing" into action. LOL!

Right now I am springing into action, trying to get everything unpacked and decorated before my in-laws come for a visit. At least now I have a deadline, so I am motivated to deal with everything.

4. We're having carrots for dinner...would you prefer yours raw or cooked?

Either way! I especially love them in the crock pot with a roast. 

5. Do you take the shampoos and other sundries from your hotel room when its time to check out?

Yes I do. They are free why not? 

6. What's the most enjoyable team or club you've belonged to and what was it that made it so?

I was part of a synchronized swimming team when I was young. I loved the coach and swimming. 

This is a very old picture of me. I am the one on the right next to the girl in blue.

7. Is cloning a sign of progress?

I am undecided on this question.

8. Insert your own random thought here.

Does anybody out there know how hard it is to loose weight? I have changed by diet to a more healthy one and workout four days a week  and I didn't loose anything this week. I am hoping that is because of building muscle.

Gardening 2

So yesterday, I told you all about my gardening right? So guess what? Some of my baby plants finally pushed themselves up out from under the soil. Plus, I made signs for my plants so I would remember what kinds I have planted. :)

So sometime last summer, I planted these pepper plants... I am amazed that they survived here in AZ. I am also so excited about this because both of my two pepper plants now have a pepper on them.
 Here are some pictures of my pepper plants: you can easily see the growth. :)

I recently just planted some seeds... So far no growth but it hasn't even been a week. LOL! It takes a little while for plants to grow... Anyway... So I have planted: onions, tomatoes, cucumber, romaine lettuce and various flowers (soon I am going to plant a potato; I am waiting on it to sprout a lil first.) I am going to have my own potted veggie garden. I cant wait to be able to eat a salad all made from plants I grew myself! This will definitely save on the money we spend on produce...

Baby plants... No growth yet. :)

 I am debating about making something like this for inside my house... This will save the plants from the AZ heat and allow for me to have them indoors but at the same time it will take up a lot of room.. and will remind me to water them LOL! Plus I need some space to plant my seedlings. 

This is the one I want Mikel to build.

This planter would be great for outside!!!

Anyway, there is a short update on whats going on in my life..
