Monday Garden Club

Yes folks, I'm back! Finally, huh?! I'm feeling healthy and ready to get back into the bloggy swing of things.

We actually had a couple of good weather days here in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. We even had one amazing day. Freckles and I took full advantage of it and spent the afternoon in the SUN. Have no fear, our rain returned in short order. Meh. I'm done with the rain . . . for now anyway. I'll welcome it back come autumn.

We finally put all our starts in the ground! Yippee!! Princess planted more flower seeds, marigolds this time. My Gardening Goddess friend suggested planting them with the tomato plants, to keep bugs away. Tomatoes will join the marigold seeds tomorrow.

Once we finished putting what we had in the ground, I realized that we needed more lettuce and more greens. Princess and I headed over to Al's Garden Supply after horse riding lesson and picked up romaine, chard and sorrel.

The fairy garden is growing. And we had a visitor . . . no, no fairies yet. But I think this ladybug is a sign.

Rain continues today, but is supposed to be gone again tomorrow, with a lovely forecast through Saturday. Fingers crossed! At least with all the rain, we haven't had to water the garden. Yup! I'm always looking for that silver lining.

Now head on over to our Monday Garden Club sponsor, Aliceson at Feet Off the Table to see gardens around the world.

Sick of Being Sick

It started Saturday evening. Sunday I thought I was on the upswing, getting better. Monday I was worse and slept the day away. Thankfully, Princess is incredibly talented at entertaining herself. I managed to slice some bread and make her eggs. She has access to other foods, so she was certain not to starve.

Today I am feeling just a bit better. I ate an egg! And I'm having some tea. I'm also managing to get a pork roast in the crock pot with homemade barbecue sauce. There were other steps involved in this recipe, but I just don't have the energy. Hopefully, it will still be yummy.

I know that the Lizard King is feeling overwhelmed. Besides working his full time job, he's got side work going on, then he has to come home and handle my responsibilities. I need to be healthy soon. I hate leaving so much on his shoulders when he's got so much already.

I missed Nature Connections, Monday Gardening Club and I miss posting in general. I will be back next week and maybe I'll post my Nature Connection anyway, even if I'm too late to join in.

I hope everyone else out there is feeling fabulous!!
