The Rain

The rain has pretty much taken over. Although in Washington, that's pretty expected. I mean how else would we have such greenery around here right? When it comes to rain it's necessary for me to mentally establish the benefits of it, otherwise it just seems like a downer sometimes.

My tomato plants have been drowned by the rain. My pretty pretty, slow growing, single yielding, temperamental tomato plants are officially out for the count.




I had four plants all together. I had a pear, a roma, a steak and a cherry tomato plant.






These were my plants. . . oh how I'll miss them. I'm thinking next year I'm actually going to try to have a makeshift shelter, more of a home for them. But for this year, my garden is down to two cilantro plants......

crochet dog

I've been working on crocheting the pattern of Werner the wiener dog from Amigurumi super happy crochet cute. it's been going rather well. I've chosen different colors than were suggested in the pattern to more closely resemble the wiener dogs in my life.







I'm half way through the main body piece, and have finished the head short of the facial details. The head is done all in the round which makes it both easier and a little tricky.
The body is unstuffed which makes the head to body ratio a little off. But things should look much better by the next post, my fingers are crossed.

First one!

Finally my first orange tomato!! Out of my four plants with plenty of small green tomatoes there is finally one that has turned orange! I'm so excited. I'm hoping for enough to make one really good salad, but I think I'll be happy with just this one :)

I haven't been feeling too terrific, just one of those colds that wont turn into anything serious but you cant quite shake either. But after making myself get up and be productive I had a rather nice day. I walked with the baby while Justice rode her bike. Afterwards I cleaned carpets, and reorganized my kitchen and laundry area. Not a bad day after all.

It was a rainy day today. I barely was able to sneak outside long enough to take a couple pictures of my tomato plants. I have four plants that seem to be developmentally behind pretty much everyone elses plants. They are still very very green, and small. But they are trying and that's what counts!

I don't remember quite how my sister taught me how to post the pictures, but I'm going to try with the next post. I'll have to remember a few passwords and such but it should be do-able.

I've been working on a crochet wiener dog. I have finished the head minus the facial details and now I'm working on the main body piece. I had to take a break from it because my finger was beginning to get rather tender. I also took pictures of this project but I'll post the pictures and more details with the next post.

I'm going to get back to my night, I'm attempting to get back in to the swing of a school schedule. Thankfully I have one more practice night!!

Lots of work to do

I've just checked out my sisters blog again, and man oh man does mine need a lot of work!

Fresh start

I've made a new blog! Every journey begins with that first step, so here's to stepping!
