Hello? Is there anybody out there? [cue in crickets chirping ] Oh wait, it's ME who's been away...hee hee! Just a quick post to let you know I'm ALIVE, I'm WELL, and I'm HERE! I've just been busy busy these days ( weeks I guess - can't believe it's been three weeks since my last post). Anyway, I'm slowly catching up with some blog reading and hope to post a real post very soon. Got some things I need to chat about. Thanks to those who sent out the rescue teams, checking to see I was alright. It was an unintentional long absence but thanks to everyone who's still there. :)

My little bambino, Caleb (aka YS2, Yardsnacker Jr., Sweet Baby, Bugaboo, Chub-Lubs, etc.) is two years old today. Sigh. It’s been an amazing two years and life has never been the same. To my sweet boy- I love you because you’re a part of me and a part of your papa but you are all you and so very very special. I love you because you love all. I love you for your spirit, your sweetness. I love it when you see a metro bus you point to it and say, “Mama!” because you know I take the bus to work. I love that you have red hair and blue eyes, just like your Grandma S. I love that when something is broken you want me to fix it with tape, even flat tires. I love that you kiss your own boo-boos. I love that when others are sad you give them kisses and loves. I love that you love green apples (granny smiths). I love that there are many foods you love that many adults have never tried or heard of. I love you because you are adventurous. I love you because you are a little shy. I lov...

Hello everybody! Hope your Monday is off to a good start…for a Monday. Here's a recap with some pics taken from the weekend. peekaboo! I’m still dreaming about yesterday – the weather here was most incredible. Simply gorgeous and wonderful to be outside and soak in the sun (not all pics shown were taken yesterday - Saturday's weather wasn't as spectacular as Sunday's). Of course, the weekend was filled with garden time but it was the weekend we needed to have our garden in shape for the season. Being part of a community garden there are rules to be kept and meeting the cultivation deadline is one of them. It’s all good though. We hired a nephew to come weed (yay). I’d do it but someone’s gotta keep up with YS2! So while nephew weeded the strawberry bed, Yardsnacker tilled the plots. It’s looking good now. Soon we’ll be planting all of our goodies. We went for several walks this weekend too – along with everyone else it seems in the neighborhood. That means lot...
