Chocolate to be precise. The pudding that is. Brie and I are in a Brown sugar and cinnamon fix as of late, I have no clean spoons and was cravin somethin sweet and presto! I know, A complete fat girl move but bah! I care not, and I was good, I only had half of the tart ;)

I got everything in, all nice and pretty :) the down side is my hands were in my carpal tunnel braces all weekend. Not to mention the weather took a turn for the coldness, so im a bit worried for all the melons, pumpkins, squashes, tomatoes and peppers i have out there, well not for the peppers, they did well last go around, but all my cute lil 'maters? My melons and squashes? They were all doin so well and im afraid that with the wind we get it'll just tear em up. *sigh* It'll all be oookay.

So we went out and looked at computers the other day, looks like I mite be shackin up with a family/birthday gift this year, which I dont mind at all cause im pushin for a lap top ;) Which means I'll be able to post pictures *yay* and not be stuck in this stupid secluded room.. Why I could post from my garden! OH THE POSSIBILITIES! Of course I really did want that RotoZip dealy, Perhapse next year *sigh*. My father picked up Meadow over the weekend. I was sad to see her go (yes, I cried) and I gave my husband an earfull both on the drive to dinner and after they left (score two for me) It was the next day, Sunday, that he took me to look at lap tops, Not only did I get my point across but I get an extra nice sympathy gift... :)

So instead of being here... during the day... by myself whilst the little one was at school... I.. went.. shopping.. !!! Granted it was with my own money so I really didnt get *into it* like I wanted to, but oh, it'll make him cringe when he sees my statement LoL. I wanderd about Home Depot for about 40 minutes looking over seed starters (Taking a go at makin some extra money this season by growin Ghost Peppers, more to come on a future episode *dun dun dun*), Looked for Kid friendly plants for my daughters now available flower bed (dog ate everything there) Bought the worlds biggest bag of organic potting soil (almost bonked my noggin putting it into the back seat of my rio because it was so damn heavy) made several wise selections in the terra cotta pot isle, and of course I had to glance over the newly arrived seedlings! What kinda gardener would I be if I didnt at least walk down the isle.. you know.. just to make sure they're gettin enough water.. (yes I have been known to water dry plants.. it makes me sad knowing their dry *hangs head*) and low n behold! A beautiful 6 Pack of bell peppers.. a Gourmet Variety cheifs choice.. !! So I got one pack.. Then they had corn! Well there was a couple seedlings that didnt survive the transplant.. I have to replace those, so I got one of them too, Then Sage... OH THE SAGE, Golden, Pineapple, Common... hop aboard! Basils? SURE WHY NOT, Got a perrenial(?) basil and Greek basil, Im interested to see if the perrenial really is a perrenial.. or if im just confusing the two of them again.. I found a deal too! A 6 pack of Dahlias for 2 bucks! Im not sure what their specific names are but they appear to be peony, all sorts of colours as well, thinkin about boardering my daughters flower bed with them but im not sure if they're miniatures or not, their flowers are pretty small but I've heard of 7 foot tall dahlia trees with small 1 inch flowers so im not lettn these guys fool me... So now im at a loss of what to do with them. I ended up choosing the pineapple sage and golden sage, Calla lilies (orange and purple I believe), Pink jasmine, lambs ear, white allyssium, and gerbera daisies for my daughters flower garden, soon to come is an adorable bird bath with a frog as the stem holding up the bath, 2 baskets of Thai delight bouganvilla, and irish moss up the yahoo! I know bouganvilla has thorns, that specific variety doesnt grow too long and they'll be hanging from hooks installed into a ghastly huge palm tree. Hopefully I'll be able to finish the grape trellis in my daughters play area on thursday, it looks soo out of sorts, all bare and unfinished.. I need to find a way to cut down the next door neighbors hovering tree limbs, they're starting to shade out the grapes.. If only I wasnt afraid of ladders and chainsaws...

I re-arranged the greenhouse a bit today, It looks as if someone has been jumping my fence and re-arranging my peppers, probably hoping thinking and praying im growing pot in there... Its a shame I cant even have my greenhouse safe, which leads me to wonder if my new "buisness" venture will be safe in there.. I dont want to have had spent this money to have it all taken from me before I even had a chance... WHY CANT PEOPLE BE GOOD! Even my 4 year old knows its not okay to take things that dont belong to you, for pete's sake we've even had solar lites stolen from our front yard. After I finished planting the butternut squash in the front yard my dad asked "are you sure you want to plant them there? what if they steal them?" :| My god. Would someone really steal my butternuts? TeeHee, turns out the voices in my head are still rather immature :) Happy Gardening.
