Summer Garden and Poop?

I recently put in my summer garden. I love to garden, though I'm not very good. I love to go and prune and pluck and dig around in the dirt. I headed to the Home Depot to pick up starts and some soil conditioner a few weeks ago. We live in an area where the ground is very hard and clay like. I tend to garden sans gloves. I like to feel what I am doing. I don't think my mom let me make mud pies when I was a child. Anyway, I'm digging around with my hands and planting and packing and mention to KT that the conditioner kind of smells like poop. With dirt up to my elbows, he says, "Yeah! What did you think was in soil conditioner." He had a great laugh.

Oh, and in case you were wondering, I planted tomatoes, jalapeno peppers, red bell peppers, zucchini, butter nut squash, watermelon, cantaloupe and blueberries. Even if I don't harvest a thing, at least I had fun digging in the poop.

WOW

Organizing

I hate being disorganized. But, I sometimes can't seem to control the chaos that tends to take over. My computer hutch is truly a "Hot Spot" in our house and a constant battle. Remember when I reorganized my pantry with these baskets?    I love them!  I bought extra to redo  my computer space.

 

Before and very revealing...

 

After feels so much better!

On this day in history, June 6 in the year of our Lord 2011, let it be known that I am a risk taker because I stared a tornado warning in the face and won.

Let's rewind a few days, back track. Miguel drove home from Ladybug's last softball game on a Friday upset because the bumper on his car was falling off due, or course, to his previous car accident. Due to his distractedness we realized Sunday morning that he had left not only the car unlocked but the keys in the ignition in the on position. Might as well flash neon lights: 

FREE CAR!  

KT jumped the dead car and all was good.

Miguel left Sunday morning for a "Senior Trip" to SLC .  We had him drive our newer car because it is more road worthy.  The plan was KT would drive my bug to work and I would drive saggy bumper 2 miles to my work.  Monday morning I go to start beater car and all I get is click, click, click.  It is dead again.  D-E-A-D, dead.  No time to call for a ride or a jump lest I be late for work so I jump on my bicycle and book it to work.

Gradually the skies grow dark and heavy as the day progresses.  I keep checking  the sky and my work load.  I finally decide to brave the impending storm and pedal as fast as I can.  When I arrive home I learn there had been a tornado warning, and that is the day I looked a tornado warning in the face and won.

WOW

♫♫Oh what do you do in the summer time...♫♫

In the summer I enjoy lying on my back in the cool grass and staring at the beautiful, fluffy clouds trying to make out shapes.  This little summer pastime enjoyment I inherited from my Mom.  Take a look and comment below what you think this cloud looks like...
