So Four So Good

I lately have noticed that one positive developing lately with mimi has been that her eating habits have improved. she is more likely to eat all her dinner and try new foods. the fussiness seems to be waning. now, if only we can get rob to enjoy eating his veggies too! (i made him a garden salad w/grilled chicken for lunch the other day, and he told me i took all the enjoyment out of his meals. in the meantime mimi is sitting there devouring all the veggies out of her salad.)

since i have finally figured out how to use the movie editing features on my mac, rob has tasked me with editing some footage from the past several months (including halloween and our cruise. mimi saw the cruise footage loading and told me she would love to go back on another cruise.)

as i was watching the video i saw on the tail end was some very very old footage, more than 2 years old, of mimi when she is a little older than a year and a half. rob is taping and i'm taking her pictures. she's toddling around and occasionally biting down on her finger and fussing b/c her back molars are coming in. she looks like such a little baby still in this, that i thought i'd load this up since it's a neat little flashback to a time when she was still so little. she is so different now! i also found another video, not sure how old she was when this was taken though. but obviously it was after she was potty trained b/c she is not wearing any diapers.
in this video she is conducting to a collection of instruments while standing on her stacking blocks, which she discovered stuck to her sweaty little feet when she stood on them, so she could also walk on them like stilts. she also seems to be consoling someone who is sad, hence the words "awwww. come here sweetie pie"

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.
