A Weekend Project

One of our goals this spring/summer is to have a successful container vegetable garden on our back deck.  This inspired me to want to build my own larger size planter to go along with a few smaller pots.  Since I'm pretty clueless when it comes to building something like this, I recruited my friend A.P. to help me out.

After about 6-7 hours of actual building time, the final product turned out great.  Note, I said actual building time.  This didn't include the almost 2 hours we spent in Home Depot trying to buy materials and keep up with Kate and his almost 4 year old daughter, Loa.  It was quite the sight.

Now, hopefully we'll be able to get some veggies to grow.  We'll post photos throughout the growing season.

The weather in Georgia

"If you don't like the weather in Georgia, just wait 5 minutes."  

I've heard this quotation before, but in our case it was more like 'wait a few hours.'  These are pictures from Friday:


9am (getting ready for a jog with Mommy).  Temp approx 40 degrees:


12pm (temp approx 60 degrees):


4pm (no pants--it was too hot--approx 72 degrees!):


You gotta love Spring!

Luck of the Irish

I know, I know, it's been 3 months.  I promise I will not wait until the next holiday to post another blog.  I'm learning this whole process again, so here goes...

Kate went to a St. Patty's day party today and had a great time!  She even snuck some icing when I was passing my camera off to another party goer.  She wore her green, played with some older kids, and decorated cookies.  It was really fun!
