Will Summer Every Come?

Even though the weather has been horribly depressing, cold and rainy, we have tried to keep busy and pretend like its nice anyway. Brody has been obsessed with the idea of planting a garden for two years now. We finally got our act together this past weekend and got our planter box built and planted with veggies. This year we are growing 4 varieties of heirloom tomatoes (Brody's idea), onions, spaghetti squash, peppers and watermelon (my idea). We will see how well they do. Sadly, the day after they were planted we woke up with frost on the ground!! (We also had to turn on the heat in our house because it was so freaking cold) I don't know what I did to deserve such a miserable winter and spring. I pray that good weather will someday come.

Here is proud Brody with his garden. Hopefully I'll be good about taking pictures throughout the summer so I can keep track of the progress.




I had to pose by it too, even though I did virtually nothing to help- except provide moral support

Also, in other pursuits, I have been couponing as of late. I have gotten some pretty amazing deals and have enough shower gel, toothpaste and other necessities to last us a long time. Most of my finds were free or less than a dollar. We figure we are saving a bunch of money and well it's kinda addicting when you walk out of the store with $30 worth of stuff for $3. Brody also enjoys it is an excuse to spend some more quality time together.


Here I am with most of my finds since I began couponing about a month ago (minus the food items I have gotten which we've mostly eaten by now)
