I think I have finally hit the nesting phase, but since the baby's room is all set (she is sharing with big sister who just moved out of the crib, so I didn't take the crib down), I have been gardening like crazy. I seem to always get a sense of urgency about this time in the pregnancy, and start getting all the odd jobs done. I need it to be scorching or raining this week so I can get some indoor projects done too.
I put in another two raised garden beds this year, because the strawberries are so much easier to weed in the raised beds. We have tomatoes in one, and peppers in the other. I am so excited for the peppers to come in because I planted some new kinds, like banana peppers and cherry peppers. So I can't wait to taste and cook with the new varieties. This is all the annual veggies we decided to plant this year, so we have less to take care of when baby arrives.
Hi Katie (waving)
Thanks for visiting my blog. I didn't know you blogged ;)
Those strawberries sound yummy. That is one of the things I miss about California, the big flats of fresh strawberries that you can buy from a farmer on the side of the road. They were so sweet. I'll have to plant some next yr. Thanks for sharing.
Blessings,

I am mom to 4 little girls: Sarah 5, Hannah 3, Stephanie 2, and Annie born July 2006. We love learning and are learning to love. We are using Sonlight Kindergarten and a Pre-K schedule I put together.
Now we have this treasure in clay jars, so that this extraordinary power may be from God and not from us. We are pressured in every way but not crushed; we are perplexed but not in despair; we are persecuted but not abandoned; we are struck down but not destroyed. We always carry the death of Jesus in our body, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. II Corinthians 4:7-10
