So about two weekends ago now, Rich and I were sitting outside because it was nice and sunny and warm. We were sitting there and all of a sudden Rich says, "Let's refinish the table!" So we went to Home Depot and he got a sander and some polyurethane (we already had some stain). He was so happy to have a project to do. Here's a picture of Rich working away...He was whistling most of the time because he was so happy!
Now onto some plants...
This last weekend we went up to St Helens and I came home with tomato plants, a bell pepper plant, lettuce seeds, carrot seeds and parsley seeds. We also built some planter boxes for all these veggies to go. I designed the boxes, Rich cut the wood and screwed a lot of one together (I did one side by myself) and then last night I made the other box all by myself! We got home and I planted all my veggies and ended up transplanting the potato to one of the boxes so the potatoes can grow a little bigger. When I transplanted the potato I found lots of little red potatoes growing...I was so excited! Now all our plants are getting bigger and enjoying the sun. I can't wait until the middle of summer so we can start harvesting some stuff!
Here are some pictures of our boxes and the new plants. Oh, and one of the wildflowers I planted with one of the bigger pots of daliahs, zennias, and lavendar.

Look at the strawberry...it's getting red!
