Whew!

The spring semester is nearly over. In the past few months I have been working very hard on many aspects of my existence. The kids are working hard on their own schooling but we are all ready for a break. The kids' break will consist of not having to do their schoolwork with limited supervision. I can actually sit and work with them and I'm really looking forward to that (and so are they). Summer never really brings a break but at least I don't have to read bland textbooks (that's a joke, I don't think I cracked a book in 3/4 of my classes this semester). I'm planning on spending a lot of time at Tower Grove park and have vowed to try out some uncharted-by-us parks as well. There are some great places in this city we've never explored.

I'm also working hard on actually growing something. The peas are doing a fantastic job, thriving in their lovely raised bed. One even had a flower this morning. Whoop! In sharp contrast I had a total bust on pepper plants. I have one pathetic plant and nothing else sprouted. I'm planning to try again with a new set of peat pellets. I've decided to just buy tomato plants. I put the ones I had out a bit early and they got nibbled to the ground. I'm hoping a few more weeks of heat and sunshine (and larger plants) will keep that issue to a minimum.

Several days of camping are in the immediate future. Can. Not. Wait. Is it time yet?

Now?

Now?

Ok, a bit longer to wait, but once I get this test out of the way next week I am digging out all the stuff. ALL of it. And you can't stop me.
