Someday it will sell ...

We've been trying to sell our house since March. We've only had a handful of showings and one failed open house. We updated the landscaping in the front to make it more inviting, but I feel like we might be stuck with this house forever!

Of course it helps that the grass is green now and the sun is shining. Maybe someday it will sell. We can only hope!

Taking up Roots

I did manage to get my garden planted last weekend with a little help from A. She wanted to help "dump the plants out" in the garden. I had to explain that we were planting them not just dumping them out. Hopefully my green peppers will do better this year than last (we didn't even get one last year!). We are attempting blueberries for the first time -- let's hope something grows! I hope to pick up one or two more plants to really get this garden going.

Two tomato plants, basil, cilantro and onions

Blueberry bush, cucumbers, 2 green pepper plants and jalapeno

It's raining cats & dogs ...

It's been raining for months. Just as soon as we see the sun it turns to rain. At least there are some cute rain boots out there to keep me dry!
