What's Up...

Things have been crazy around here lately. I did end up taking both Thursday and Friday off last week and so did E. Thursday morning we were up bright and early to have one of our trees cut down. We spent the morning outside talking and drinking coffee while we watched our tree be taken down branch by branch. After that was done we went to Chipotle for lunch and then headed out to pick out some new trees. We ended up getting an Pin Oak and a Pagoda Dogwood for our backyard and a Redbud tree for our front yard. That night we grilled, had a few drinks and watched some TV.

Friday we went to The Friend School Plant Sale at the MN State Fairgrounds. We loaded up. We actually went through the entire sale twice. E got a bunch of shrubs, some perennials, some annuals and a bunch of veggies. We actually got 10 different tomato plants, 6 different pepper plants and a ton of strawberry plants. I am also going to have a huge basil garden going on this year. 8 different plants!

The rest of the weekend entailed gardening, sushi eating, more gardening, some more grilling and then another trip to the plant sale where we got some random stuff (like an artichoke plant) and 2 peony plants.

I got back to work on Monday to quite a few changes. A few of my co-workers were no longer there! One quit and one was terminated. (Unfortunately it wasn't the annoying dude : ( ) Bummer!

Anyway, I know it was a long recap. I will post pictures of the garden, trees etc soon. This weekend hopefully the weather will shape up a bit so we can continue my grilling streak. This weekend we are going to be making shrimp and steak fajitas. We are also going to try a nice sangria made with Vinho Verde, grapes and green apples. Oh, and margaritas of course. : )
