Gardening

How does your garden grow?

Isn’t that a song or a saying or something? How does your garden grow.

I don’t really know… but my garden is growing. Actually it’s growing a little too fast for me to keep up with it!!!

In February I bought some seed pellets and basil seeds so I could afford fresh basil!

They germinated very quickly and I was more than excited. This is/was my project, my baby.

I sent this picture to my mom and she thought it was a St. Patrick’s cupcakes… ummm

It is now April (holy cow!!) and my basil is now ready to be cooked with, smelled, and basically adored.

It is nestled on my dining room window sill. I water it almost every day! Next to my basil (not pictured) are some other small pots of strawberries, tomatoes, and green peppers! I started to grow them all in late February to early March so they are all little babies!

Fresh basil in pinto bean stew 🙂 Makes me happy!

It is so rewarding to grow your own herbs/plants to eat and cook with!

I also made a special purchase. BLUEBERRY PLANT!! (That is for another post though!)

Soooo, what have I been up to?

-Jim and I just had our 2 1/2 year anniversary on April 3rd ❤

-Hanging out with my bff Madison 🙂

SCHOOL WORK

-Researching a special run!!! Either a 77 mile relay OR a 50k. We shall see!

-Reading the book of Job (in the Bible!) and totally loving it

-Cooking and baking

-Being happy

-Enjoying Spring!

What have YOU been up to?

 

 

5 & 1/2 weeks!

5 & 1/2 weeks until my summer shall begin. 5 & 1/2 weeks! This is exciting because I cannot wait to not have school but this is nerve wracking because I have a lot of school work to do before the semester is over!

Summer dreams:

Fresh corn on the cob

Gardening ❤ (though I have been doing some spring gardening!!)

KENNYWOOD! (Pittsburgh’s amusement park)

More time with friends 🙂

WATERMELON. (I will post more about my love for watermelon sometime soon.. it is truly scary)

Triathlons

Pirates games!

This list could go on and on. AND ON. But I will stop here before I get real weird. Other things on the list: Sleeping in/staying up late, my church’s vacation Bible school, bonfires, light at night, cold coffee, smoothies, lemonade, eating outside, heat, more work, swimming, running, and sleep overs! I am one of those people who is always excited for the next season so I am trying to focus on enjoying spring too!

What are YOUR summer dreams?
