Life is finally returning to normal around here. After our excitement of last Friday, I for one am ready.


Last week I ordered the remainder of our garden seeds from Baker Creek Heirloom Seed catalog. I ordered them on Tuesday and received them on Friday with an apology for not being prompt. Uh...it takes our family an entire week to get ready for church on Sunday. 3 days is beyond prompt. Needless to say, I was impressed. I not only got the seeds I ordered, but they threw in a few extras too! (Does okra grow in the great northwest? It'll be fun to find out!)


With a little luck and nice weather, I'm hoping to plant a garden this week. The greenhouse is full and the dirt in it is too clean.


Besides, my toenails are painted a lovely brown. Can't waste a good paint job.

*I am officially out of potatoes. Sad, but true. I also ran out of frozen bananas, so today I stopped and bought a few organic sweet potatoes and a bunch of organic bananas. I'm still doing really well with our local eating, but bananas do not grow here and the world would be a very boring place without bananas. They keep the monkeys happy. Store-bought potatoes scare me, so I chose the sweet over Ore-Ida. Sorry Ore-Ida, but your days are numbered in this house.


Zero is a number, isn't it?
