I was a bit early yesterday!  Oh well, every day should be Earth Day!

I’m running on very little sleep and it’s showing.  Last night I went to bed at 10:30 and was woken up at 12:30 by a very scared sleep walking and talking Lu It sucked.  After that I didn’t fall back asleep until 4:45. 7:15 came way.too.soon this morning. I’m currently running on a Grande Latte from Starbucks.  I don’t do caffeine normally so let’s hope this does the trick!

My first attempt at cottage cheese failed yesterday.  I’m going to give it one more try and if it doesn’t work, I’ll be very sad.  Does anyone know about Darigold?  I need to research and see if this is a factory farm or not…

I think that’s all I have today.  I have way too much to do at work to even be writing this-I think this will be my 15 minute lunch break.  With that, I’m off!

Happy Earth Day!  Today I’m thankful for our Earth

I’m very excited to start a garden this year.  I hand tilled our little part of earth ALL BY MYSELF!

Here it is about 1/4 of the way done:

And totally done:

Here’s my garden plan:

Okra, peas, peppers, green beans, carrots, kale, lettuce, strawberries, and sunflowers along the back fence-Color coded to the date I need to plant them outside. Tomatoes and cucumbers will be planted in Grow Boxes up on the deck.

The kale is in the ground.

As are the peas.

And the okra and peppers are started inside. I have the seeds for the carrots, green beans and sunflowers. Tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, and strawberries will be bought after the danger of frost is past (hopefully by May 10th!).

I’m excited to garden this year and to teach Lu that food comes from the earth NOT the store!
