…but it’s a dry heat!

After picking up our rental car in Phoenix we headed straight for the Boyce Thompson Arboretum for a lovely hike through flowering cacti and other drought tolerant plants and trees. This is my first time in so-called dry heat and that whole analogy about being slow roasted in an oven is completely accurate. We used the shade often and drank a ton of cold water (water fountains were supplied readily along the trail) and took quite a few photos. I'll leave you with a sampling of the arboretum ... continue reading...

new garden photos

Gee, updating this website everyday is easy when you take half days from work because you are still sick. We leave for Tempe tomorrow, maybe the 100 degree heat will clear up my sinus infection? New garden photos are up along with an updated garden banner. ... continue reading...

this post brought to you by DayQuil

Since I've been confined to the couch I have gotten a lot of pictures sorted and posted while Eric has been working in the yard. Thankfully, the Princess Bride was on AMC today as I was running out of patience with the poor daytime programing on the Food Network and HGTV. Last night a bunch of us went out to the Melting Pot to celebrate Randi's 25th birthday (photos). Eric turns 30 tomorrow, so he wasn't too sympathetic with the whole 'I feel old' talk. :) We were planning on just cheese and ... continue reading...

sowing the seeds of love…

Today I tore out my overgrown mesclun/mustard greens and sowed some new seeds in both planter boxes on our deck. This was my first time growing lettuce greens and I admit, I was a little overzealous with the planting... plus I refused to thin out the plants because what if I didn't have enough? Not long after this I had so many plants that I couldn't possibly eat all of them and some of them went to waste. This time I plan on 'thinning' the plants out when they are young and tender by eating ... continue reading...

home sick

I stayed home today because my lymph nodes are so sore and swollen that I am having trouble swallowing. I woke up at the normal time and made myself some tea but Eric took one look at me and sent me back to bed. I tried to sleep some more but wound up tossing and turning all morning while listening to the birds "singing" outside my window. So, I am taking it easy and managed to finish up the photos from our trip to DC, some shots Eric took of me making focaccia bread last weekend, and Eric's ... continue reading...

our new journal design…

welcome to our new journal! We have been working for a few weeks now on making our journal more dynamic. For example, we want to be able to update on the road instead of waiting until we returned from trips. Also, you will be able to hear from both of us now... look for the icon by the date to tell who posted what. We have even more changes in store, so stay tuned! ... continue reading...
