My First Post

So I decided that this will be a great way for us to keep everyone updated on what's going on. Things change so much and so fast and sometimes you just need pictures to make you feel as if your really there.

I'm going to start by posting my gardening pictures. Why? Because its what's been keeping us busy on a daily basis. Plus Kim & Bernie planted the veggies, Bryan jazzed it up with the ground cover and fence...which by the way is made of recycled tires!...and I am slowly learning the ways of a green thumb. So now, K&B, look at how much its grown!


We have mostly tomato plants, grapes in the back on the trellis along with peppers & eggplant in front. In addition we have a zucchini in another location, which has produced one lil guy so far! We also have blueberries, which were a nice suprise! For a while there I questioned the destiny of these twiggy looking bushes! We've only gotten to eat a few, our birds get to them before we do!
As for the pretty stuff....well, there is a lovely butterfly bush that desperately needs to be hacked so it fills in, some pretty little flowers between rose bushes that Bry planted and my begonia that I planted in front. I'm not doing anything else to the front until we put up the siding, which will most likely be next years project. I'm afraid anything I do will get destroyed in the process. Here are our current pretty things:




And there's Ava...she's part of our garden that's growing as well. This picture was from this morning. I heard her yelling "shoes shoes shoes" in a very annoyed tone, which I followed only to find her trying to walk in daddys boots!

And I'll end with a congratulations to Bryan for getting the Branford store!!! Yay for shorter drives, more time home and being awarded the top third (soon to be #1) store in CT!!!!
