Im-fant's ultrasound at 13 weeks

i forgot to post these pics from our first ultrasound that we had on dec 31, 2007. after we brought the pictures home, i put them on the bulletin board in the kitchen. a couple of weeks later, mimi approaches me with some pictures she told me she wanted me to put on the bulletin board next to the new baby's pictures. i look in her hands and see she is holding the ultra sound pictures from the time she was in the womb. she had gone into rob's office, found her album, extracted the ultrasound pictures, and here she was standing there in front of me insisting her pictures be placed on the bulletin board next the new baby's.

so we found a spot and hung up her pictures. i said as i pointed to her ultrasound pictures, who is that baby in the picture? and mimi tells me, that's mimi when mimi was a little baby in mommy's belly.

this is mimi's ultrasound picture at 16 weeks:












this is Im-fant's ultrasound picture at 13 weeks. only 4 more days until we get more pictures of the baby at 19 weeks!

Rainbow Magic Birthday (Mimi's 7th Birthday)

this year was a particularly difficult year to plan mimi's birthday.  after rob's dad became terminally ill, i didnt think it was good time for a party for mimi and her friends, so we decided it was best to skip a party this year and just have a quiet family dinner out.  then after dad passed and we slowly started to get back into our routines again, we all began to feel bad about not having a party for mimi, so we decided to have a party after all...although, a much belated party. mimi said she really wanted to have a party here at the house.  she really really really wanted it here, so i told her she could, if she kept it small.  since she was turning seven, i allowed her to invite seven friends. then i tasked her with thinking up a theme, and she finally settled on a favorite book series of hers called Rainbow Magic .  how perfect...each of the book sets in the series showcases 7 fairies, whether they be the rainbow fairies, the gem fairies, the party fai...

Gardening My Albatross

 sometimes when i think about giving up on life in general, and sitting like a blob all day, unbidden my mind fills up with images of a neglected garden turning brown, rotting, dying, and thats often enough motivation to keep going, if for no other reason than to prevent the desolation from becoming reality.  is it weird that when i think of dying one day, that i get sad knowing my garden will die when i am gone?  i dont think anyone else would go tend to it when i am no longer around.  i hope they will at least keep a plant or two in remembrance of me, but the little pollinator waystation i've been working for several years now to create will likely be razed and no more.

Growing Things

 it's crazy how long it's been since the last time i blogged here.  i spend so much time on insta and facebook, this blog has been largely ignored.  i'm on my second year of gardening and have been trying to maintaining a physical gardening log and failed at several attempts.  So i think this may be my best bet.  So here's the first gardening entry! Today is March 29th, 2022. Temps today were unseasonably cold and have been for the past three days.  Todays high temp was 47F and the low tonight will be 22F.  But should warm to the low 70s tomorrow.    This crazy cold and heavy winds yesterday blew down several daffodils.  many are leaning but upright enough that i left them and only pruned the ones that were knocked to the ground.
