Progress, Lizards, Chicks and Mojitos…
Posted on | May 2, 2010 | No Comments | Share!!
This weekend rocked on several levels! The temps are finally starting to stabilize so that they aren’t falling into the low 40′s overnight anymore. There may be a few more here and there but I think the typical warm weather has nestled in and made itself at home. This isn’t why the weekend rocked, but it has afforded our garden the much needed warmth to flourish!
Seedlings poked their heads up, the potatoes are going nuts, the squash is rebounding, the peppers are holding steady and the tomatoes are close to being put into their rightful buckets! Good start all told!
The warmth has also awakened the thoroughly awesome eco-system we have in our back yard! The eggs have hatched in our birdhouse and the baby chicks are screaming for worms! Such a cute family! Also, our much beloved lizards have been coming out in force to sun themselves! This is just one little guy of about four varieties in our back yard.
Saturday afternoon brought the company of dear friends and it wasn’t long before cooking smells filled the house and ice cold Mojitos were sipped (with mint from our garden)!
Then, that evening, at around nine we all hightailed it to Local 506 in Chapel Hill and caught the CD release party of a wonderful local folk duo “Mandolin Orange“. The place was packed and they didn’t disappoint. Just beautiful stuff! Check ‘em out here for yourself! Highly recommended!
Then today we finished everything off with grocery shopping and hopefully a much needed nap! We’ll see. 
Hopefully you all had an amazing weekend as well. Filled with new life, cold drinks and small surprises!
