trish and nathan

We spent the rest of the evenig with another set of friends who are expecting thier second child, a little girl, in april. The boys all played Rock Band Metal bands all night, while the women folk sat upstairs and gossiped and talked babies.

Very nice weekend.

I also decided to venture down to the train yard by my house and take a few shots. Nothing horribly exciting, but it was a nice day and they were lined up.

In the fall i planted around 20 cloves of garlic and shallots, so i assume those will start poking thier heads out in the coming weeks.

I am adding some new foods to my yard. Spinach, mustard greens and maybe some Romain. (yum!)

Peas and beans will be going in earlier than last year, so i might have some real crop out of them.

I am also excited about one VERY exciting addition to the peppers, tomatos, and other veggies.
We are adding a FRUIT to our garden..

We are getting BLUEBERRY BUSHES!! This is so exciting. We use blueberries literally every day.

I also joined UrbanFarmOnline as well and have been reading up on gardenguides.com

happy farming!

Our street was a translucent sheet of ice that glistened in the sunless day. I wished i had a sled. I would have ran all over the street with the dogs pulling me.

I didnt though, because i am supposed to be an adult (what fun is that?)

I will fix this.

and apparenlty i need to make myself a new theme because images were lost on a server host transfer!
Eek!

We have been busy. VERY busy.

I have been building a website for a friend of mine, and had photoshoots almost every other weekend since January, and now that spring is here, I foresee even MORE shoots coming my way.
Ill throw some more pics up soon, i promise!

Florida was cold

Ill elaborate later.

Woah is me who can only knit rectangles..

I love it.
Pure and simple. I love having all that space. I never realized how much I HATED our side by side. This thing tells you the temperature of both the freezer and the fridge, uses LED’s and makes pleasent beeping noises when you push buttons.

Nathan says no more appliances for a while. I hope he is right. At this point we have replaced everything in the house except our stove and the water heater. It would be nice to have to replace anything huge for a while.

Nathan and I have joined the 21st Century in the gaming world, and finally purchased two new gaming consols.
For our anniversary, we bought a Nintendo Wii. What an AWESOME toy! That little white box brought so much fun into this house. We bought Boomblox and Punchout for it. We have boxed with each other, we have broken down walls, and ALL of it NOT sitting down like a zombie not blinking, and even sweating a bit after some fast paced boxing.
Nathans parents came over the weekend after we bought it and they even played with us as well! I havent heard his parents giggle like that, i dont think EVER! It made me smile alot and whip out the camera.

The next, was bought for Nathans birthday. I bought Nathan an xbox 360 for his birthday. He hasn’t had a new console system in a long time. He has been playing his PS2 for soo long on Gran Turismo (his favorite racing game), that even to me, the graphics seem dated. I also bought him Forza 3 for it. If you havent seen the graphics for this game, you are missing out. They are BEAUTIFUL. Our poor rear projection TV does it no justice.

We also celebrated it with our refrigerator dying on us as well, and to top it all off, we lost all the grocery in there as well. So we are shopping for a new one. I am excited.

I hope to back to bloggin again soon, we have been crazy busy these last two months.. and things are finally starting to settle down again for the winter.

Look foward to new website designs, more cooking and maybe even some knitting!

Add the rest of the ingredients. Continue to pulse until tomatoes are pureed.
We did pulses in 2 second bursts, because we like it a bit chunkier.

That’s scary stuff, because an arsonist just hit the other side of Hillard Rome Road a few weeks ago.

We spoke to the officer on scene and he said it wasn’t probably the same guy because that guy was only on foot and this was too far way. I dunno, but it definitely worries me. I hope they catch this guy.

We walked over and talked to the parents of the owner in the morning. They said that the police found some kind of paraffin wax behind the front seat and a gasoline soaked rag. The rear window was broken out to place the them in the car. The car was a Dodge Magnum.

The whole front of their house is melted, as well as the American flag set out for their son who is in the Air Force over seas. He had just bought the car.
