alive

Oh, heeeey blog! I remember you.

all squirreled away

in the garden

and strawberries.

11 states, 1 district, 1 foreign country (I mean, it was only Canada) and 36 sticks of strawberry flavored gum later

We made it to Idaho and this is where we plan to stay put. For a little while.











To celebrate our arrival into Rexburg we had an old love, burritos from Ramirez, and tried something new, Paradise Donuts. Both very good.

Also, though we haven't moved in any boxes yet, I did plant my garden today. I am still waiting for my arugula seeds to come from Amazon.com.

Leaving DC wasn't easy for me. I like change, but coming back to a place I've been before, and to a place so small, wasn't as exciting. But as I have thought about our circumstances and about this move, I see that the pros significantly outweigh the cons. And that's exciting to me. DC will be waiting for us and someday we will go back. Until then I plan to print a lot. Feel free to ask me what I've been working on. I think I will need the extra motivation.

spring can't come soon enough

I planted a flower to make spring seem closer.

I can't wait for the vernal equinox when we'll burn our socks and flap our wings and eggs will stand on end.

hurry up, spring!

late blooming does not mean less beautiful

Hello, beautiful!

Eatable Art

My art blog is now serving up good eatin'. Check it out, I'll soon be posting homegrown and homemade dishes. I just love it. 

I'm Happy Just to Dance With You

So I haven't really been posting much about anything lately. But I have my reasons: 

a) I don't like to bring the camera with us when we do things. And I don't like to post without pictures because I don't like words and talking. 

b) I don't really want to. Whenever I think about the blog, I think of other things I would rather do instead. 

And c) I don't have children. And people get really tired of posts about my tomato plants (which were totally rocking, by the way).

So here's some words about what we are doing:

Today I went to the Pre Professional Conference on campus to hear Robert. He won first place in two categories. He rocks too. His literary analysis essay won first place in it's category as well as his short fiction. And he's in the English Academic Society which runs the show. I heard one of Robert's presentations, I went to lunch with Mel, we listened to some big-time poet, and we ate lots of raspberry cheesecake, it was a great day. And my day isn't over, either, so I've gotta go make the most of it. Let's see, in other news we are on a really good soccer team, our church callings, school, and work keep us busy, and my teeth are weird.

Pictures next time. Or there won't be a next time. 

And Your Bird Can Sing

I haven't posted anything in a while, so I am just going to share with you a few pictures of what we have been up to lately.

Summer Love

I don't have anything new to say, no updates or anything to comment on. I am just so glad it is warm and sunny. 

My Little Garden

This one is for you Mom and Dad. Aren't you guys proud? I spent the first two days just pulling weeds. The pile of weeds in the picture is not all. I got so tired of it I just went ahead and planted before all the weeds were pulled. And I still have to get cages for my tomatoes.

And I mowed the lawn. We have a few random tulips that came up in the middle of the grass so I had to mow around them. The finally sprouted yesterday so today we took this cheesy picture with them.

Zucchini!

My zucchini has sprouted. Hopefully it won't die before I get to eat some. I love gardens and I love summer!
