Happy Birthday mama

last tuesday was mom's bday. She worked, so we took a cake to her and it was huge! Shared it with all her coworkers. She turned 28, wait, that's 38 - she actually had that thought process - it is hard for her to believe she is so close to 40. She says thanks to all the birthday wishes from everywhere! It is amazing how many greetings she got since her bday is listed on facebook!!!

It has finally stopped raining!!! oh my god, it was frustrating - we went from lots of snow to lots of cold rain.....and now it is finally warming up - it better, being almost June, and all.

The veges went in to the ground - and have done well from the rain, but some died. mom has bad luck with lettuce and other "salad greens" - couldn't grow from seed last year, and didn't transplant well this year. The tomatoes, peppers and beans went in and seem to be surviving. Dad built a new bed along the back fence and mom had gone and got all the soil, but it was on hold for completion due to the rain. Mom finished it a couple days ago - today the squashes and corn (we'll try it again - complete failure last year) and other stuff will go in. Mom is researching rhubard and asparagus, and planning where those could go - she'd love to have perennial veges aswell as all these annuals.

We took a trip with mom up to rocky mnt national park for a hike - it is so beautiful up there, but you'll have to take our word for it - we forgot the camera.

We are getting excited for mexico!!!! 1 week to go.

mey-hee-co? si!
garden sounds good, ours in going nicely, 2 more nice beds, 23 tomato plants, asparagus/rhubarb super easy to grow, planted them both last year, 90% of the asparagus are up and in full fern mode, can't harvest for 3-5years but that's ok
