Busy Weekend



Finally had a bit of sun this weekend, so kids and I spent most of the weekend outside. I planted all my little green onion stubs, made a little irrigation channel in the garden for them. 



The ones over on the left are the first ones that I posted a while back, they've grown quite a bit so far. I still have some more in the house that I have to find a spot for. I stuffed some avocado seeds in the dirt too, lol. I know it's a tree, but just for the heck of it, I want to see if it even sprouts. LOL.

Here's my lovely bunch of weed flowers that the peanut gallery gathered for me. They went far out into the field where the weeds have grown to about 2ft tall and swam around looking for the pretty weeds to bring back. lol. I'm glad I took my Benedryl on schedule to enjoy the weedflowers that I was presented with. There's nothing sweeter than your little boy running back hollering at the top of his lungs in a little baby voice,"mama! mama! I got "fowers" for youuuuu!" Totally cute. 


Next up is my ghetto rigged garden teepee. It's made out of these bunches of curtain rods we had to buy for the old house that we were in last year. That old house that we lived in for like 8months up here had like 500 windows. Or close enough to it. So this normal little suburbia house we're in now, has the regular amount of windows, so I have these rods just sitting around in a storage closet. I figured the snow pea plant could use a little support, and why not use the rods that I have no use for currently? ^.^  Oh yeah, that black tray has little tomato plants I tried to grow from seeds. They're growing SLOWLY.


Here's the right half of the garden area, the one where I dug little irrigation channels. There's my rows of green onions, a tomato plant, some various peppers and a row of cilantro. Yum. Pico De Gallo in the garden! Well, almost. I don't have a lime tree, nor do I have regular onions growing. 


Made another 2 loaves of French Bread on Saturday. One always comes out great looking and the other always seems to just want to do something weird. It never fails. I'm sure the loaves are just laughing at me," Ha! One of us will turn out great, the other will boggle your mind!"

Went and got some new cake pans today while grocery shopping (along with a pile of stuff for L's Bday Cake) I'll have to take pics and post those tomorrow or something. This week will be trial baking week; mess with the new pans, play around with fondant.
