Weekend highlights

Ok, so once again I didn't document the meal with photos. Sorry. Trust that it was good, and fairly pretty. Gladys adores my empanadas, so it does an ego good to cook for someone who is so appreciative. Her dad is also incredible with the compliments...but he is like that about everything he likes. A good quality in a person.

Other fun stuff we did this weekend include:

Gladys took my yoga class, and it was fun to share that with her. She was really into it and did a whole hour yoga class. Said it was both relaxing and hard. Ain't that the truth.

We played ninja warriors in the yard with old sunflower stalks (which were about 6 feet tall and make an excellent biodigradable toy, fyi). She loved beating me with her awesome strength. Once we mashed them to bits we composted them.

We then worked in the garden together. Planted chamomile and radish seeds, hostas, and weeded. She was really helpful -- learning how to slug bait. Gladys is no longer afraid of worms, in fact now when she sees one she picks it up and moves it (when we are digging around or weeding). When I first started composting she'd freak with all the worms, revolted. Now she understands they are a blessing to the garden.

I enjoyed a quick stop at Pistil's Nursery today. Got some argula seedlings and planted those in a bed.

Can you tell I have a major case of spring fever?!?
