dirty dirt n garden beds

May 25th, 2008 · No Comments

Yay! I get to have a garden this year! A very sweet person has given up some space in his front yard AND gone to the trouble to build and fill 2 lovely raised garden beds for me!

This year’s lineup will include:
TONS of tomatoes (cross your fingers!), both cherry and large sizes
hot thai peppers
some lovely red flowers, can’t recall their type
watermelon
PUMPKINS!
cucumber
yellow squash
mint

There are several other things I’ve either purchased and forgotten or mean to purchase and plant soon. Want to get these things into the ground and see what it looks like first. If it weren’t so wet outside I’d probably be elbow deep in the garden right now! But, alas, it is most likely too wet to even get started as I’ll have to finish filling the beds and such, don’t want to drown the little plants on the first day, right?

Whee!

the dirt goes in the beds

Fix Yer Bike Day 05/04/08 was a big success. There are a few pictures on my flickr stream, www.flickr.com/photos/heidimonkey, see them if you want to be jealous of the fun times that were had involving beer, grilled foods and bicycle dirt.

Here is a picture of Audrey working on her brake. Please to enjoy it.

i am a rabbit

March 9th, 2008 · No Comments

It’s spring here, I don’t know if it’s for real and I can hardly believe my eyes. It’s so lovely here, almost as if no spring has ever passed before this one.

Also, Thomas has bunnies! I got to hold bunny rabbits before breakfast today, and then eat bacon with friends. Fantastic!

Mmm, what other boring things did I do today? Cleaned my house, it is spring and therefore time to clear the cobwebs. I think I might have cleared out too much, my head feels different and all of my old ideas are gone. I hope to find them scattered around the apartment, but if not I’ll have to grow new ones. That’s ok really, those old ones weren’t really working for me anymore.

Saw the movie “I’m Not There” based on the many lives of Bob Dylan. Not bad but about 11 years too long. There is some lovely music in it (of course) but the best part is Cate Blanchett. I love it so much when physically beautiful people immerse themselves in non-beautiful roles. She was fantastic as a drugged up/out Dylan.

I guess I’m over the dreary, rainy Portland winter. Ready for the so-lovely-it-makes-me-crazy-with-joy springtime! Spring spring spring! Plus, Chico hates the rain.
