saturday

i'm back... for now. two of my kinda-sorta big projects are behind me now (phew). so now i can start on my other sorta-kinda big projects in order to, at some point, study for finals. with this in mind, i know what i should be doing today. i do not need to be reminded that now, my life is to be composed solely of work and no play, but did you see the day we are having today? i can have a 1/2 day off right?

to plant in the first beatrice...

to catch a bit of the crazy-legs race, where, seemingly millions (okay, thousands) of people run through town...

to say hello to one of the cutest dogs out there... my friend's 7 week old masternard (i.e. saint bernard/mastiff) puppy, bowser...

needless to say... i am jealous. we had the opportunity to adopt this little fellow's brother, but missed our chance. something i will regret for at least another 5 months... (right around the time bowser reaches a stout 150 pounds)... oh, who am i fooling... i would actually love to have a giant bear of a dog living at our house... i am regretful. sigh.

a bit of the garden from the last few days... the potatoes we planted during that warm spell back in march just couldn't stand the snow and freezing nights that followed... so we will try again with new ones...

the garlics, however, did weather the weather and they are doing as well as we would ever expect...

what are you?

oh! our lettuces! we started them in the basement and transplanted them last weekend... someday this will be the main ingredient of a delicious caesar salad...
