around here : may 20

 Enjoying the tiny buds that will hopefully turn into delicious strawberries.
 I've already made my first smoothie using our garden spinach.  Matt told me that we should thin it out but I don't have the heart to do it.  It's like aborting tiny spinach plants.  I know that sounds crazy but I literally think I would cry.
 We caged all 6 of our tomato plants and I can't wait to dismantle that extra wood that was used to make a makeshift green house.  there was once a tarp over that because at 4500 feet we were still having some pretty cold temps..
 Loving this gorgeous iris that is in full bloom.
 I think we're going to be eating broccoli very soon.
 Lots of flowers in bloom around here.
 And our front yard will have lots of poppies very soon.
 Loving these too.
 And soaking up lots of afternoon sunshine.
 Saying hello to our trailor that came home after having some major repair work done.  Really looking forward to our camping trip in August and having some just-for-fun-sleep-overs in it.
 I'm pretty sure by tomorrow these tulips will be open.
 Reading my first book Finding Me (a memoir of the Cleveland Kidnappings) on my iPhone.  It's an awesome read and a book that's hard to put down.
Dropping off our ballots at our local library.
