A Good Day

I worked in the garden all day, and let me tell you it was glorious! My family started a tradition of taking my mom to the nursery on Mother's Day weekend and having her pick out whatever she wanted as her gift. This year she picked two tea roses, a pink one with a slightly yellow center and a yellow one with a reddish/orange tinge on the edges of the petals. Those tea roses are so pretty when they bloom. We cut them and put them in a small milk bottle on the tables around the house - b...e...a..utiful! :)

In the garden today we planted some pole beans, bush beans, spinach and I found some Columbia tomatoes at the nursery. I am stoked about these! I know totally nerd but they were especially bred at the Prosser WSU research station for this area. I haven't been able to track down seeds let alone plants until I found these. My goal is to save some seeds from them. I planted my Ace55 tomato starts yesterday and they do NOT look any kind of good today! I hope they live...I put so much work into them.

My dogs have been very actively lately and by active I mean covered in dirt! Yotee comes inside with his little chicken legs showing in wet fur, and Ruby comes in with her belly and feet covered in mud. She then proceeds to jump on my lap and get muddy footprints all over my clean jeans! :)

I have been working on several projects lately, and maaaaan are my wrists, hands and fingers sore and tired! I am still crocheting the baby blanket which is what makes my wrists sore and have finally begun sewing my braided rug together - sore fingers...ouch! I think these projects are going to take quite some time because of the soreness they cause. I will get them done...I will persevere! :)
