green thumb

Ryan has been sooo excited to grow me one of these:  my very own garden. Especially, my very own tomato garden. 

And, for someone who has zero fondness for consumption of tomatoes, I am overly impressed with his dedication toward this effort..  and ALREADY!

At the back door, on a daily basis (several times daily), his plants are checked for health, height, and overall progress.  This is a very serious undertaking!

 

He must be in love.

(And, also sharing his wife's never ending cabin fever!)

first spring sunday

We have a portable fire pit that has sat on our patio all winter.  We have noticed that if it is filled with water, the birds will come.  Throughout the weekend, watching the robins, the bluejays, and the exotic mexican birds (that we are still trying to identify) bathe and drink in our "bird bath", has inspired us to invest in a REAL bird bath... 

stay tuned for that project completion ;) 

It is so hard to get photos of all the different birds in action.  They are quick, and extremely jumpy!  (kinda like my sweet husband)  Here's a foggy pic of a bluejay, just for a taste of what we have been observing.

No comment... He's our little prince... snarl tooth and all.

a good end, to a good sunday. 

i'm so very happy to see the sunset in my front yard once again.

color pots

I may totally regret this, but this is what I did today.  I planted my pots. 

I may have to end up covering them cuz I'm sure our random Utah cold spells are not going to forget about us until atleast May....  We just needed color, so here goes...

the one behind with only green is my herb pot: basil, rosemary, oregano, and parsley

Happy Spring!

....please don't go away!!

Another fabulous week in Palm Desert at the Tournament.

Sad to be home...

I got to see my boyfriend Rafa.

Kelly at the Draw Board

I thought he was hot, so I snapped a photo.  I still need to find out who he is.

The 6 of us on our last full day of enjoyment.

until next year...

for you, mom and dad

If you are anything like the RH Bailey's when it comes to pizza, you only like ONE kind, (well outside of dad's homemade) and that is genuine NYC style.  It is hard to find.  But, in the SLC, this is where you go. 

So, tonight, in an attempt to stay connected as siblings, since los padres are vacationing in the north pole and are unable to gather their flocks, we congregated in a local establishment on Main, and enjoyed some amazing authentic NYC scrumptiousness.
