thank you

Excited because

Last post I was excited about road racing season. This post I am excited about gardening season!
First I want to say thank you for the encouraging comments on my last post.

I read each one and smiled. So big.
Anyways 😉

Last year my brother and I planted a garden together before we went on our cruise.

It may have been tiny. I may have been pasty white. But the garden germinated in 2 days!!

Before we planted outdoors I had started growing a tomato plant inside my house. I took care of my little baby and watered it every day. I checked on it obsessively like it was a new born child. Finally, it was time to plant it outside! WOO!

A few days later… my brother mowed over it. HAHAHA. When I think about it now, I laugh because the plant grew back. When I think about right after he told me, I was super sad… like depressed over my little tomato plant. (He thought it was a weed!)

We grew tomatoes, cucumbers, broccoli, wax beans, carrots, lettuce, squash, radishes, and a few other plants I just can’t remember!

See those little seedlings?! I took that picture yesterday morning.

BASIL!!!!! Soon I will be starting to grow another baby tomato in my house along with my baby basil 🙂 So exciting! Jimmy said I can plant a garden at his family’s shop (it has a big yard) along with a garden in my yard. I have bought seeds for:

egg plant, watermelon, broccoli, brussel sprouts, and squash.

Can’t wait to buy more! (Like lettuce, corn, onions, peppers, ETC!)

Do you plant a garden? Do you grow veggies or flowers?

Thank you

Happy Monday. The last Monday in January 2011. Ground Hogs Day is coming up! Any special plans?

I titled this post “Thank you” because I wanted to express my thanks to everyone who commented on my blog and tweeted me this weekend wishing me and my little sister good luck at our swim meet.

It really means a lot to me 🙂 I ❤ blog friends!!!

 

Here are the rest of the pictures of my weekend:

Pittsburgh Steelers swim cap? Yuuuup!

Friday night dinner out at Mitchell’s Fish Market at The Waterfront

The scallops were awesome and the pyramid of rice was so good dipped into the gingery-soy sauce. I also had some shrimp for an appetizer.

My friend Catherine and I went ice skating after the swim meet on Saturday. 🙂

Bible Verse of the day:

Teach me your way, LORD, that I may rely on your faithfulness; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name. Psalm 86:11

Sorry if this post seems a bit random. I feel under the weather today. I think it is because I ate rancid Brazil nuts. . . :/ but I suddenly have a stuffy nose so I doubt it. Do you know of any common cold cures?

I have to work tonight so I will be catching up on everyone’s blog 🙂

Bye bye !
