progress

the quilt is finally done! although I helped a bit, the credit goes to michelle for making such a beautiful quilt for our kid(s). we stalled there for a while, but with the baby (hopefully) less than a month away, michelle kicked it into gear. she also made time to do the crib bumpers too, which turned out great. now she turns her attention to some drapes for the windows. I imagine they'll be done rather quickly, but we'll see.

in garden news, I'm a slacker. or at least I have an aversion to heat and bugs. I havent sprayed bugs in a long while but at least the rain has kept things watered. but even still, the tomatos are doing pretty well, and we've got a few cantalopes on the way, and the cukes are yummy but not abundant. the jalepenos are not very hot, but that's ok. the peppers are sub-par, and the squash and zukes are a complete failure, thanks to the vine-borer bug. the sad part is that michelle's pregnancy-induced heartburn prevents her from eating the tomatos. hopefully she'll be able to enjoy them after the baby comes.

Pretty pretty Michelle! I love green for little boys, because it can be for little girls too! Yes enjoy those tomatoes as soon as you can!!

Definitely. I was carrying around bags of mulch as big as me and re-landscaping a corner of the yard the week Gid was born. Karen Monahan was vacuuming the walls! Give us a pic of bumpers-and-all when everything's finished. Kinda makes up for sub-par peppers, aye?
