We are already planning our spring/summer. We have farmers markets to visit, parks to play in and after spending last summer exploring Midland county, we have whole half a mitten to explore! Stupid buckeye that I am, I never realized how much there is to do outside of Detroit. We will be exploring the UP late this summer when we spend a week at a resort in St. Ignace.
I am still deciding what to plant in my ugly but functional homemade EarthBoxes, other than tomatoes.
I would like to use the small planting bed on the side of the patio for herbs, but the complex has a bug guy come around and I am just too afraid he might forget not to spray. I am opting for a butterfly garden. I know, butterfly gardens shouldn't be sprayed - and of course I am going to do everything I can to ensure he doesn't spray - but I would feel much worse if he sprayed our herb garden than a butterfly garden. As for the other side of the patio, it gets partial shade so I haven't figured that out yet.
My mom and her husband will be visiting this Tuesday. This will be the first time she has been here, because of her car accident. (She had a blood clot and had to go to the Doctor daily to have blood drawn, so she couldn't go anywhere.) We are going to take them to Marty's work for dinner one night, but I have no idea what to feed them for the rest of the meals. Her husband is a meat and potatoes kind of guy, and we just aren't. Maybe I will make a big pot of TVP chili.
Well, the boys are standing at the door waiting for me to take them to a friends house, so have a great Saturday!
