my herbs & Impatiens hanging on for dear life waiting for me to have time to transplant them
Our
Joy Rebel mission this week is to "Have Fun" I can get into that Brandi!
The fun started yesterday when myself and
this guy went to this
friend's baby shower. Where there was a CHOCOLATE FOUNTAIN!!! Need I say more? Let me tell you, the fun began right there with heaping platters of fresh strawberries, pineapple & banana chunks all to hold under the melting, warm dripping chocolate...omg, I think I spent half the day at that fountain!
It was a great shower and I never saw so much "pink stuff" in all my life. (yes it's a girl!!!) She's due one month from today and everyone is oh-so-excited!
Afterwards, we came to my teeny boho apartment/cottage where
this guy laughed himself into hysterics while observing my garden-in-progress. He saw my sad little tomato plants (I have 2)...and that was it...he was gone over the edge, crossed over to that place where laughter becomes tears and you can't stand up without peeing yourself!
He named it
"The Charlie Brown Garden", among
other things, implying that it is a place where fairies and garden gnomes come to die... too funny! The kind of thing only a good friend can get away with saying.
He makes a good point though...here's a visual for you all.

Alas...it's still in the early stages. I only have half of it dug up (by hand- quite a work-out!) so I've only planted a bit of veggies & seeds so far. I'm just hoping the soil doesn't know it's past the May 24th planting deadline.
Fun? Absolutely! Even my zen garden had to be trimmed down to half the size I was planning because I decided that buying stones from the garden center is sort of oxymoron...so I only got a couple small bags. Me & this guy are gonna do it "old school" and go down to the beach with pails and fill them up with stones!
Pics of that to come soon!

peace, fun, & friends
