I'm back
I'm back. Back from sickness that blew me over for a week or so. By the end I was convinced my body just wanted to hit each and every cold or flu symptom before it recovered. I guess the worst of it was having a fever. I can't remember the last time I had one, it kept me in bed full time. Bob worked from home and took care of Caleb. I'm so thankful for him. I really missed Caleb while I was sick. Its good to be able to take care of him again!
I started growing some herb seeds indoors a couple of weeks ago and am pretty pumped about them. I tend to get on my little kicks now and then and I guess this is one of them. Hopefully they will grow into beautiful plants that I can put on my porch. A garden in pots I think will be a little more manageable for me, so I'll leave the big gardening in the back to Bob. I've planted italian parsely, rosemary (still no sprouts, I've heard its hard to grow from seed), cucumber, lavendar, cilantro, green dwarf basil, purple basil, thyme, sage, chamomile and dill. Bob took these pictures for me. The tallest ones are the cucumbers (notice the cool saturn through the window Lynn, Andy, and Katie). The roots are going crazy underneath so I need to plant them into bigger containers this weekend. What fun! I can't wait till spring. Oh yeah, its practically spring in our front yard because our cherry tree is in full bloom and our daffodils are blooming too!

I was just explaining spring to Livia this morning: "It's warm outside, and we can spend lots of time in the garden. The crocuses and daffodils will come up and the sun feels so good on your skin." Is it wrong of me to be jealous of you in Chattanooga?? ; )

I started some seeds last weekend, but I don't have any sprouts yet. Hopefully soon! All the seeds I have started so far are for pepper plants but I want to start some herbs this weekend. This is the first time ever for either of us to have a garden so I think we are going to just try a few things this year.

I'm with you on the sick thing. Three weeks ago I got the flu with the high fever. I missed one week of school and the past two weeks I've been going on 50-75%. I recently realized that the only week I haven't been sick this semester was the first. There's a lot of bad stuff out there going around. I was in chattanooga last weekend, but I didn't get out to see everyone. Partly bc I was still under the weather and I didn't want to take the chance of being contageous with all the little people. Glad you're feeling better. Its been a tough 5 weeks for me. Too bad there aren't immune booster shots out there....I sure could use one. :o)

I am so glad to hear that you are feeling better. I never heard back from Bob about babysitting Caleb yesterday and, actually, completely forgot about it until this morning. I am sorry if I caused you any problems...

SSSSOOOOO glad you're over this thing!!! Take care for the next couple of days...I think it took me another week to really feel "good" again.
Bob, you're not allowed to get this.....by the way! Love you all.
