I Garden

It's true.

Alex and I decided that since we actually have a backyard this year, we'll plant a garden! Brilliant, I know. We spent close to 8 hours yesterday weeding and planting. Holy Montana, it was hard work and we still have half the garden that needs to be weeded. Ugh! I was sooo tired afterwards that it actually hurt to text and my hand was shaking holding my cell up to my ear. Yeah, crazy stuff right there! Plus, I'm sooo smart that I decided to wear a tank top out there with no sunscreen so I could get a nice tan on my shoulders and arms! (I would have worn shorts too, but I'm hairy and I really didn't wanna shave. Alex loves me Ü. lol) It ended up being a nice sunburn instead. Who'da thunk it?! And the best part is that my hands and down to about 1 inch below my wrist are still white as can be. "Why?" you ask. Well, I didn't realized I would have a nice farmers tan from my gardening gloves. It's awesome? I guess I didn't think that one through. So Alex and I both have nice matching awkward tan lines on our arms. Gotta love it. I told Alex next time we go out there, I'm just gonna wear my bikini. Surprisingly enough, he sad "OK!" ;).

I would post pictures of our awesomeness, but I don't take pictures like I should. I use to take pictures of EVERYTHING but that was while Alex was on his mission and I knew every picture I took was basically to send to him. But now he's with me during all my awesome picture taking experience so I just don't do it. Dumb, I know. Maybe when the plants start growing, I'll take pictures of those (IF they start growing. lol).

ANYWAYS... We planted okra (for me), squash, watermelon, baby watermelon, tomatoes, grape tomatoes, jalapeños, habaneros, anaheim peppers, bell peppers, and cilantro. So basically everything you need for homemade salsa and then some Ü. I also decided on a whim that I wanted to plant flowers in our flower bed out front. I thought I would get that done yesterday as well, but after my crazy sunburn I just couldn't get myself to go do it. Maybe after laundry today I'll go do it. =)

Hope the rest of your Thursday is amazing!

Peace!
