May Garden Update

Welcome to my garden! There was a break in the rain yesterday and I went out and snapped some updated garden photos. It's rained pretty much everyday for the past week or so, and it doesn't look like it's going to let up anytime soon. Most plants have really taken off! Everyday when I go out to check on things I am always surprised at how much the plants have grown!

Tomatos and lavender.

Basil.

Strawberries. The birds got our first few strawberries so we added some bird netting and that has seemed to solve the problem.

This tomato plant is really taking off!

I saved my two favorite plants for last! These cantaloupe plants have exploded this past week! They must really like lot's of water! We are planning on adding a trellis to the side of this bed and I am thinking this needs to happen soon so the cantaloupe vine can start growing on it.

We officially have our first tomatoes growing! These are cherry tomatoes so before we know it they will be ripe and ready to be picked. Hopefully we will get to them before the birds do.

 

Free Weekly Printable 11

So I never got around to sharing a free printable for last week. Sorry about that! Moving on now...

I read this verse in my chronological Bible in a year reading plan (that I am way behind on...but still following) and I loved it. I am wanting so badly to be more intentional with my mornings, but I am so failing at this. I have been waiting until the last minute to wake up to get ready for work. I am going to hang this print up in my bedroom ASAP to serve as a reminder of why I want to wake up earlier.

March 2015 Goals

 

Hello March! After ending February with some wet & cold days, I am so ready for spring! 

Here is a look back at February's goals: 

-Finish Genesis, read Exodus & Leviticus, and start Numbers. I am so close to finishing Leviticus - it has been a hard book to get through.

-No cokes all month.

-Finish Landline & Girls Like Us. For some reason I really haven't been in the mood to read. I go through phases like this all the time so I know I will be back at it soon.

-Continue blogging twice a week. I didn't quite get two posts up every week but that is ok.

-Organize our business finances to get ready to file our 2014 taxes.   Everything has been entered and categorized now I just need to pull it all together.

-Wake up 30 minutes earlier on work days. This so didn't happen. I really didn't even try. I love sleep. But I am going to work on it in March.

-Join a community group at our church. We are already so blessed by the time we have spent with this new group. 

-Decorate the mantle. I still have a few Christmas things on it! I got the mantle cleared off...that count's right? I am having a hard time figuring out what I want on it and making it happen with little money. 

Here are my March Goals:

-Finish Leviticus, read Numbers, Deuteronomy & Joshua, and start Judges.

-No cokes for the third month in a row.

-Spend more time creating the free weekly printables. If I could have them done by the Friday before I post them that would be perfect.

-Get our raised bed's filled with soil & plant our seedlings.

-Read Make It Happen.

-Finish & paint dresser so I can finally have a place to put my clothes.

-Start envisioning what I want our guest bathroom to really look like. We are just about 2 months out from starting our renovation and I want to have made most of the design decisions before we start.
