things...

1. Here is my Term 1 school schedule:
Monday - 3:00pm-5:30pm
Tuesday - 9:00am - Noon
Wednesday - 9:00am - 4:30pm
Thursday - right now, this is my study day. in 6 weeks it will be the day i pick up my care plan info from the hospital and work on my care plans.
Friday - 8:00am - Noon, but in 6 weeks it will be 6:45am - 1:30pm when my clinicals start.

2. Is it officially summer yet? I never remember the dates when the seasons officially change. All I know is that it is hot here, yet some things are still feeling all frisky and spring-like on our backyard umbrella. bow chica bow wow. and also, ewww. I shall call them Lisa and Will. Since the two squirrels in our backyard are already named Mark and Julie.

3. Guess who wants to wear "ponies" all the time now!


4. And the biggest buzzkill of all time....my garden.
This garden, affectionately named "Garden A," is on the side of our house, right outside Piper's bedroom. The amount of sun this area gets is slowly decreasing as the massive live oak outside our house is growing bigger. I've currently got arugula (going to seed in the bottom of the picture) lettuce (dying back in the heat already), collards, peas, swiss chard, summer squash and potatoes (in the ground, just planted so you can't see them). This side is NOT doing well. I really need a whole lot more sun, oh and a gigantic dose of Miracle Grow. I'm still holding firm on not using chemical fertilizers, but dang it is hard b/c my garden looks like buttkiss and my neighbor is pulling off like 3 tomatoes a day thanks to her Miracle Grow.


Garden B, outside our family room. I've got 3 heirloom tomatoes growing here that are doing great and currently have a dozen 'maters on each plant. Cucumbers are really taking off, as well as 3 types of potatoes (in the old tires). I've got 6 pepper plants that have grown approximately 2.3 millimeters since I planted them over a month ago, ugh. I've got sage, Vietnamese Cilantro, 3 basil plants, parsley and a few measly carrots despite the fact that THREE separate times I have painstakingly planted dozens of carrots seeds.

Cucumbers!
