News from the garden: The beginning of the madness!!

Our seeds arrived in the mail a few days ago.



Wheeeeeeee!!  Can you tell how excited I am?
We bought 2 types of marigolds to keep out the bugs.




As a result, these seedlings sit atop my craft table.  They have taken over my craft room, just as I found some motivation to start crafting.  *killjoy*

I can't wait for the warmer weather and when we can transplant them into the ground.  Meanwhile, the hardworking husband has tilled the land in preparation.
Spring, please come already.

Elephants Never Forget

Hi blogger friends!


I know I've disappeared from the bloggy world for almost a month!
I hope you're all doing well and posting more regularly than I have been (gonna go through my blog list and catch up on your lives!)


Just want to take a moment to help spread the word about an fundraising initiative to raise money for a film / documentary that spreads awareness about the plight of elephants around the world.



Please take a moment to go to their website, read up more about it and decide if you want to

1) donate
2) spread the word
3) all of the above.

There is 24 more days to the end of the campaign. If everybody chipped in a little and spread the word, it can be done!
