Lazy Sunday

Finally smiling for the camera

Strawberries and Spring Mix Lettuce. Finally put up the net after something was eating the strawberries and now I have little holes in the lettuce! I am trying to learn how to make this work organically w/no insects!

Our cucumbers are doing okay. I think they need more sun since I placed the tomatoes on the wrong side of the sun. Spinach is growing and tomatoes are going to be great! I have an ant issue on this side so I use borax and corn syrup to help ward them off.

Hey! Look at me! I am on a roll as this is my 2nd Sunday of blogging. It's probably due to the fact I lost my master to-do list. I can't find it anywhere and quite frankly, I can't remember what the hell I needed to do anyhow. Maybe that means it's all really not that important.

So usually San Diego is considered sunny year round. What most don't realize it that this is really the opposite once you hit "May Gray" and "June Gloom". One of the cool things about living out where we are (around 20 minutes from downtown) farther east inland is that all that tends to burn off late morning and open up to sunny blue skies. It looked that way today and then in came the gray again later on. These kind of days make me want to curl up and do nothing. I truly do suffer when I can't see Mr. Golden Sun in my day and my daughter is very much the same creature. I have a hard time if I can't get her outside each day with her for more than 2 hours. I have NO idea how others (or possibly we someday) can brave a real long blustery winter where you stay inside with a toddler.

So since my to-do list is probably in the recycling bin, we decided to do hang out at the house and fill our day with backyard play, garden tending, and hanging out with our dogs. Sometimes it is nice to not really make plans. A big plus for today is that Sophia had no tantrums as well...Yay!
