1.5



ozzy is now a year and a half!  noooooo!  i'm so conflicted!  i am so sad that he's already 18 months old, but so thrilled by all the ways he is growing.  these top two pictures were taken a month ago.  the one below was taken a week ago...can you see how much he's changed even in the course of this past month?  (yes, that is a doll stroller that he's sitting in...he loves to climb into it.  it's amazingly sturdy for a toy made to hold dolls.)

he's looking more like a little boy and less like a baby and it makes me so sad.  he still likes me to hold him while he takes his bottle and i do, gladly, hold him, almost hoping that by doing so, i can keep him a baby for a little while longer.  it's a terrible shame how with my first child i was in such an all fired hurry to have her grow up and then one day i see that she's all grown up and i realize sadly that i didnt enjoy the moments and now they are gone, so i vow that i WILL slow down and enjoy it with the second child, but the cruel joke is that the second child grows so much faster.  i dont even remember much about ozzy's crawling days!  it seemed such a brief moment in time.  i'm not ready for him to start preschool in the fall.  i'm not ready for him to be TWO this summer.  i'm not ready for him to give up his bottle this month.  but i know it will all happen and it makes me sad.

    uh, you don't remember ozzy's crawling days bc he probably only crawled for 2 months before starting to walk at 7 months!! you have a gifted baby :)

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.
