My husband....the farmer.

This weekend was awesome. I am now an official graduate of Cal State (go bulldogs) and can authentically place the letters M.S. after my name. I didn't make it to CA to walk but the pics of my friends and former colleagues make me feel like I am there. John finished his semester and finally we were able to spend some quality time together without the worry of assignments or exams. It was bliss.
John took me to the batting cages. I have been begging to go. The weather was amazing all weekend...I wish I could say the same about my softball skills. I have been looking forward to putting in a garden. I decided on a raised bed garden that is 4X2 feet. We dug up the ground and built the box...ok, I will be honest...John dug it up and built the box. I supervised. He cracks me up. As he is digging up the lawn on our 4X2 plot, he looks up with me and says "this farming stuff is really rough"...We often talk about moving to a big piece of land and having animals and a large garden. After our work putting in our "micro-garden", we may need to reconsider our future. I had so much fun though. It really makes me appreciate John putting up with all of my ideas. I could not have done this nearly so well without him. With any luck, we will have fresh green beans, snap peas, tomatoes, and of course a selection of herbs to cook with. I am crossing my fingers...
John also took me to the local flea market. We had so much fun walking around and got some great finds. We got The Natural on DVD for $2, an awesome set of juice glasses for $4, and amongst other finds...some books. I think we have a bit of a problem. In our office, we have a floor to ceiling bookshelf stocked to the brim with books. In our bedroom we have and entire wall covered with a massive IKEA bookshelf that is also packed. All with books. Today of course we got some more. Needless to say, I have some reading to do this week....
