Gardening

Matthew and I worked hard on our garden this past summer. It was something we enjoyed doing together. And not TOO expensive. Sadly, we have let the weeds grow a bit, but I know our lovely plants will do well after we take some time to tend to them again. I took a bunch of pictures over the few weeks that we spent really tending to the yard -- here are some of them!

We grew these. I'm still in awe!

 

 

Not necessarily my garden, but this is how I save some of the herbs that I have grown. Basically, you freeze them in oil, water, or butter, and then you can just pull out whenever you need "fresh" herbs. It's great for having real herbs during winter months. I shared the step by step process at NewlyWife.



 

 

Totally unrelated, my friend sent me this adorable picture of her son with the blanket that I made for him. How precious, right?!

Randomness

It has been too long since I've shared Insta-randomness. This was actually from the week leading up to Family Night....

My front garden -- three weeks later it is actually much bigger!

The one perk of working from home is the wine...

Skweaks decided she could help me color....

We finally got our shirts for the Fire Academy (these were for family).
I have since taken over his workout clothes as loungewear -- since he is done!

This little ditty was at work (on the fridge) and I literally laughed out loud.

What randomness is going on in your life? Any crazies at your office?
