A month..

Well, its been like a month since my last post. And I guess I haven't felt like posting because my post are mostly boring and so I just haven't put it on my list of things to do. Honestly, I haven't been up to much. Working on the garden, watching baseball..hanging out. Last week we went on a mini-vacation. We went to Owatonna and played in the waterpark. Mom took My sister, Owen and I.
My MN Twins have completed 2 sweeps ! Yippee!
My garden is growing, I got kind of a late start on it because of forgetting to get around to it and then because when I did it had been raining for like a week straight.. But it's growing now, and the weather has been awesome.. 70's to 80's with mostly sun. This year we planted a bunch of different things in the garden. Two kinds of beans, sugar snap peas, cucumbers (which I'm excited about) and then Mom planted some carrots, tomatoes and spinach.
I've never grown the sugar snaps (I love them!) but they are growing and I've constructed a cool structure for them to grown on. I'll have to take some pictures of all this stuff.
I've also been working on some craft projects. So I'll have to take pictures of that stuff too. Post are always much better with visuals!
On a sad note, while we were on vacation my aunt was put into the hospital and I guess I don't feel like getting into all the details because this week has just been a daily recount of the events to various family and friends. Not really for me, but for my Mom and then I listen to it. But she is making baby steps everyday. So we are all remaining hopeful and positive.
And I guess that's all I have...

I always feel like...

Somebody's watching me... Its tree man! I just thought it was funny, the line and the pic and all..









Well, ya'll have to turn your head to the left, because my pic isn't situated right. This is my sign, and its only a stop sign but notice that it isn't on a pole, out side, which is the natural environment of a stop sign. Its in my basement. But I didn't put it there, its been there for a long time.






This is the soon to be garden, now its just a box filled with dirt, soon to be amended with compost (whoo hoo) then I can plant , provided I can find replacement seeds for my target seeds. Tree man will be watching over it, making sure that it grows like crazy. I'd like to have enough so that I can sell some stuff (veggies) out on the street, make a little yarn money. He's on the tree in the back ground. So what else.. well, Kevyn Burger will be having surgery tomorrow (send her good energy) and I just found out something so cool. I sent off an e-mail to the lovely people at Fifth Element, a local record shop operated by a local record label, Kevyn loves Atmosphere, he's a local hip-hop artist (NOT a rapper, there IS a difference) and all I was asking of the was to post some comments on her blog to send her some happiness, just something fun. But the response that I got was SO cool. They wanted her address so they could send her out a care package. I just thought that it was so cool way more than I was asking them to do. But ever since the b/f got me into the label and the artists I've liked them and I like to support the local stuff and I think its cool when they support people who support them. That's kinda wordy but I'm sure you all understand what I'm saying. There is one guy who I think works all day everyday because when ever we go there he is working, but he gives B/F a discount, how cool is that.. And its not like we/ he go (es) there all the time or anything. But anyways, I'm going to eat lunch and check out the paper. SO that's all for me, unless I think of something that can't wait. Have a safe weekend.
