It felt like Spring yesterday!
Ooh, my legs and lower back ache and Jana's still asleep, but I feel pretty good. I'm also wearing my new Earth shooes all morning to help. We were going to go out yesterday morning to Princeton and hang out with Michael while he works and visit family, but Michael caught a bug from someone at the site and well, I'm tired of getting sick.

Fresh from the Garden!

Garlic and Some Surprises
I came home for lunch and was finally able to get some gardening in. With it getting dark by 7:15, I really haven't been able to get the clean up done that I've been meaning to ( Read more... ) -
Obsessive Compulsive Personality (OCP) - Garlic
OCP, I must have it. Anyway, the last of my garlic orders just arrived. It's supposed to be a 1/2 lb of Spanish Roja from Seeds of Change. Jana's been playing with the box so I've been hesitant to open it ( Read more... ) -
