busy busy...



well, there's been a lot going on here. i went to visit kelly and fernando in west palm beach, and it was a really lovely time. i'll post about that when i get the pictures.

also, there's been a lot going on at home with the garden. brian worked very hard while i was gone. i don't have the pictures of the latest yet, but here are some from the last few weeks.

the first one above is brian dis-assembling some old shelves where we build a great big new set of shelves in the basement. i somehow neglected to get a picture of the final product.






we had some ugly shrubs by the house that we decided to rip out.



the boxes look really nice in the yard.




they were extremely woody and rough and messy, but brian is building a long skinny box where we are going to grow strawberries, raspberries, and basil.



they are much bigger already!



below is an assortment of plants we are putting in, grapes, peppers, raspberries. so much fun!!



we've been discovering walnuts that the squirrels burried all over the yard. they sprouted!



i planted lots of tomatoes along the little house just like last year.

the long-awaited grill



after nearly 2 years of marriage we have finally purchased the barbecue that our parents have been contributing to as a wedding (and birthday and Christmas since it took so long) gift.



it's a holland grill, which my family tends to believe is the best type in the world, and it had better be since our particular model came with a 20 year warranty.



we made breakfast on it on sunday, which was not the only thing we made, but perhaps the most fun!



thanks moms and dads!!

we like our car



we went to ocean shores a couple weeks ago for brian's job.



brian was very excited about the tracks showing our new car's turning radius.



she also enjoys watching the waves and long walks on the beach.

for matt

remember the christmas present you sent us with the hand-decorated paper bag packaging? i believe that the post office responded to your note about proper packaging. weird.
