Memorial Day Weekend Planting

Finally, the day we have been waiting for...Planting Day! Yesterday the kids and I got all of our vegetables and fruits for the garden beds. Due to the late season frosts here, we followed the protocol and waited until this weekend to plant our veggies. We also did a few things from seed, so we'll see how it all turns out! We've planted everything from artichokes to watermelon, so it will be a good summer experiment to see what does well.

This morning Ashlyn had her rehearsal for the upcoming National Piano Guild Auditions next week, and poor Tom had to go into work for a few hours. He had his physical last week, and it turns out that he too has high cholestrol! His was so high, they are going to retest him to make sure the results were accurate! Now we will both be making positive changes, and as I told Tom, "You're off the beef baby!" No more steaks, hamburgers, eggs, etc...for any of us! The kids are not sure what to think of all this; they just want a good hot dog and potato salad from time to time!
