Project 365: June 4th through June 10th

June 4th: A standard run to Lowes for stone and a few clearance plants - who can resist a curly filbert for $19.99 at 50% off. The far left closest plant I had to get - a humingbird was going crazy for it in the plant center! June 5th: After doing some shopping Macha lays claim. Would you move her? Seriously - this is what pure joy looks like....not pictured is her kneading the box with her little paw. June 6th: My lupines began blooming in the backyard. June 6th: And I finally finished (after a week pretty solid) weeding the front yard. June 6th: Here is the rest of the front yard which I just finished weeding. June 6th: The front of the house. June 7th: Patrick finished the sun garden and new sitting area. And, believe it or not, those are daisies in the back. June 8th: Running to downtown Portland. June 8th: The courthouse - meeting up with our lawyer. June 8th: Apprently someone was in such a hurry he ran right out of his shoes. June 9th: Our friends Derek and Mike married each other in our backyard. This was their cake topper which represents two sould from different worlds. June 10th: I rescued this rose from my awesome mechanic's yard and now it is looking amazing. June 10th: Look at that color!

The state of the Garden - June 2012

Project 365: March 5th through March 11th

March 5th: Cheese selection...hunting down some decent Brie at Fred Meyer.


March 6th: Brandy and SKot over for dinner and games. You can see Patrick in the background with Gabriel. Desert - Lemon Chiffon Cake with Lemon Sauce and Strawberries.


March 7th: After learning I was hired for the job I wanted I went through my bags of work debris which were sitting in the corner of my office for the past seven months. Since I am leaving Wells Fargo after over ten years I was able to get rid of my pin collection.




Here is my 5 year and 10 year pins under my green team name badge.


March 8th: Macha busy at work on the dishes...


March 9th: I inherited a necklace from Melissa Hansson and changed out the pendant on it.


I also found piles of other fun stuff to make another necklace as well.


The base for my other necklace were these little pretties which I got off a dress I had.


March 10th: Stephanie and Cheryl over for dinner - we had some nibbles beforehand - brie and apples, bread, pomagranite, honeydew melon, salami, and two different types on almonds while all three on us had our own choice of wine.


March 11th: I was able to finally get a few days in weeding so the front looks much better.

Project 365: October 17th through October 23rd

October 17th: Macha tests out the new candy dish getting into the spirit of Halloween.


October 18th: Fingers crossed! My cucumber needs to get just a touch bigger and I can harvest it. If that happens than I technically will have had a vegetable garden since I also was able to harvest tomatoes from the new front garden!


October 19th: Purple clematis


October 20th: SICK! Why oh why do they insist on making flu meds so difficult to get into - I mean seriously...how cruel are drug companies??!! I had to use the sword on my keychain to get it open.


October 21st: Decorating for Dias de los Muertos.


October 22nd: Cleaning pumpkin seeds for roasting for the pumpkin carving party.


October 23rd: Pumpkin carving all complete.
