Way, Waaay too Long
Hi everyone. I just wanted to let you know that my computer has been broken and that is why I haven't been around here too much (or at all). We have two other computers in the house. The one I'm working on tonight doesn't have my pictures on it. The other one is Scott's and doesn't have my pictures on it and when I did try to post and update last week nothing saved. So I gave up.
I should be back next week with a functioning computer and some other exciting updates!

My Little Project
Here is what I have been working on. A baby! After almost two years of waiting I am pregnant. The little O-let will be here this winter.
I feel Like I have missed all of the summer, spending my time being nauseous and sleeping. I have not cooked or baked anything, my e-mails from all of you have gone unanswered (I am so sorry for this. Please forgive me.), and my favorite blogs have gone unread. I am looking forward to autumn and cool nights. Even though I am in the second trimester I don't feel well yet, so I am holding out for the next season to be better than this summer. Thoughts of caramel apples, knitting, pumpkin pie, lentil and sausage stew, and walks through the woods keep floating into my mind. It's almost here. And then, soon enough, a little one will be too.
Have a wonderful holiday weekend and I will see you in September!

Birthday Girl
Today is Olive's third birthday! I wanted to fill up a Kong to give her something special to chew on (she normally doesn't get Kong's). I looked and looked for the rubber toy all over and finally found it upstairs under our bed. I brought it downstairs and gave it a squeeze and out came a plume of dust, like stepping on a puff ball mushroom. Spores! Inside was a petrified piece of peanut butter bread molded almost beyond recognition. The last time I filled up the Kong was probably in May. It has been fermenting under my bed for three months! Aaacckkk!!! I tried to dig out the dried lump of bread but it kept smoking out mold dust so I just stuck the toy in a bowl of water to mush it back up. I'll try to clean it out later. The worst part is Olive saw me futzing with the thing now she won't budge from her spot in front of the sink. She is staring at me sitting on the other side of the counter and is huffing and whining. You'll get it later, I promise pups.
So I am on a once a month posting routine that I so foolishly said I would get out of last time I posted. Some things have come up in the last month that I have been working on. I hope to share them with you in the next couple of weeks. Please stay with me!

Summer, Summer, Summer!
Everything has been blooming so beautifully in the heat. My foxgloves were so amazing this year. If I understand them correctly, they bloom their second year then die. I think they come back from seed. I'm hoping they come back from seed because all of them were blooming this year so I don't know if I'll have any next year. The pretty rose was just purchased. It smells spicy and fruity and starts out as the palest pink then ripens to this peachy-pink hue. it is a climber called 'Pearly Gates' and upon further research I found out it belongs in a zone 6, not 4. I'll try to baby it this winter but it may not be making a repeat appearence next year, either.
So I'll enjoy it all now!
