Spring Spring Harrah!

It has been so so warm the last couple days. I went from putting zoe in pajamas, a sleep sack and blanket one night to trying to figure out the right combination of fan, onsie, blanket-or-not?, to have zoe sleep well. Its so warm on our top floor! And the car, oh my. I'm afraid to take her anywhere by car because it doesn't have air and whoa my it gets warm even with the windows down. And its only April, its going to get so so so much hotter!
Anyhow, this is not what I signed on to quickly post about. This is:

Today we finally got outside to dig in the dirt!
Zoe sat in her bouncy seat in the shade while I cleaned up the corner herb etc garden, pulling weeds and finding herbs that survived and flowers that are popping up. I created a little lettuce plot, surrounded by old bricks that are conveniently abundant under our porch. I planted carrots around the lettuce bed. Put a trellis type thing (also found under the porch) and planted peas. Grow peas grow! I set the broccoli and tomato seedlings outside to get better sun. Still bummed the eggplant and peppers never sprouted. Will have to buy transplants.

Oh, and I also managed to hang diaper laundry out to dry in the sun for the first time, and wow! the sun really does do a great job bleaching out stains! As I was hanging it up I was really surprised at how all of a sudden it seemed that there were lots of stains that I hadn't seen before - and poof! A few hours in the sun and they are like new! woohoo!

Setting Zoe in her bouncy seat in the shade lets me get all sorts of outdoor work done! (shouldn't celebrate too much, I'm sure she wont always be in the mood. but a big chunk of the gardening actually happened during nap time - yay monitor technology)

Ill post garden pictures before long.
