Honeytrip 2012

This past Thursday-Monday My Love and I were able to go away - just the TWO of us!!! - and remember why on earth we married each other.

It. Was. AWESOME.

In the airport, waiting on Delta. Like normal.

We married each other because we like doing nothing, and everything, and everything-in-between, together.

Case in point:

We found a park in front of the New World Symphony and decided it was a perfect place to NOT act like grown-ups.

So I "owled".....

My Love "planked"....

and posed. :)  (He may not be entirely thrilled about this picture.)

I showed him up in my balancing abilities - I'm a mama of 4. I know how to balance!

He showed me up in his strength - He's a daddy of 4. He knows how to carry a lot of things on his shoulders!

We found an AH-MA-ZING South American bakery just 2 block from where we stayed...and managed to eat there everyday for breakfast.

 It was just that good.  Cafe con Leche. Homemade empanadas. From scratch pastries. Ham (Fresh shaved) and cheese croissants.  It was utterly delicious.

We did other stuff..like shopping...the beach...eating...and just overall having a grand time being spontaneous. :)

The rest will be tomorrow..... :)

What's growing Wednesday.....

So, while I'm sure this is totally lame, I really just don't care.

Wednesdays will find me posting updates on the status of my greenish hued gray thumb.

(It used to be black....I'm slowly progressing)

2 weeks ago I planted little baby seeds in my seed-starter-planter-thingy.

(I'm highly technical around here)

And look how much they've grown!

Go me!!

We have tomatoes, peas, cilantro, and basil in the "edible" category....

and a bunch of different flowers - cosmos, snapdragon, wildflowers, and 4 o'clocks - in the "look at how pretty and utterly useless I am" category. :)

I have high hopes for this year....

I want to make pesto! 

And eat fresh tomatoes!  

And decorate with MY flowers!

We'll see.
I highly doubt all of the plants will survive.
Even more questionable is if they will produce any produce.

(Sorry, I couldn't help myself)  

I think I have frightened my plants away from production in the past....either through drowning, starvation, over-attentiveness, utter-neglect, or complete ignorance.

Armed with numerous successful-gardeners on my speed dial, a phenomenal body of personal knowledge on what NOT to do, and the all-powerful GOOGLE....I'm hoping this will be my first year of success.

We'll see every Wednesday!

I can take zero credit for these. Yes, they are growing in my garden. I have no idea how they got there.
