Perfect Weekend

What a great weekend! On Saturday, my friend Heather came down for a visit. We indulged in lunch and some retail therapy. It felt really good to be out and about with all the sunshine! We checked out Orchard Nursery in Lafayette and I picked up some plants for the garden.

Today, Brian and I were the "boring married couple". We took Belle for a long walk. Brian washed both cars and I mowed the "lawn". Then, I finally got to plant some plants in the garden. I decided, since the danger of frost was mostly over, that this was the "planting weekend". I planted cilantro, Italian parsley, thyme, rosemary, chives, 2 different kinds of leaf lettuce. and 4 different kinds of tomatoes (early girl, roma, roma grape, and yellow boy). Yes..can you believe I (queen tomato hater) planted 4 tomato plants?!?! But, I love cooking with tomatoes. I'm hoping that I have enough to make my own salsa and pasta sauce this summer. YUMMY!

Lettuce and herbs...We still need to get more mulch to put down on the path....But I think it's going to look good!

Tomato plants...I want to get some bell and jalapeno pepper plant...maybe some beans too! I just can't decide!

Brian is putting the finishing touches on our new umbrella. We put out the new umbrella and pillows. We can't wait to BBQ!
