Heavy Hearts

I just can't focus on anything else right now. Little Lucy, my niece, is in the CICU at Primary Children's. Her open heart surgery 6 weeks ago was unsuccessful and she will need another one next Wednesday. There are many more risks this time around and things seem much more serious. My sister and her husband are such troopers. Lucy is such a trooper. Thank you for all your prayers.

Mormon 5:21
21 And also the Lord will remember the prayers of the righteous, which have been put up unto him for them.

Seasonal Depression

I'll miss you baseball fields,
snack shack and quilts on the grass.
I'll miss you heated parents, cute little boys and
girls kart-wheeling in the background.
Goodbye KC Royals, until next year.

My very first harvest

My husband comes from an amazing gardening family. My dad always had something growing in our backyard. You'd think we would have a pretty good shot at being good gardeners but that hasn't been the case. We have tried a few times over the years but have never made it to harvest time without completely giving up. After a few too many years of this dirty little secret in the corner of my backyard I decided it was time to take things into my own hands.After a lot of work and some great help from my husband and my amazing friend (yes, she did the sprinklers all by herself-I watched and learned) this is the finished product.
My dirty little secret is now those amazing (but tiny) strawberries. Hopefully I can figure out how to get them a little bigger.
