Spring Seeds!

Sprouting chives! I started a couple of herb boxes in my house about two weeks ago. I have three types of basil going, chives, cilantro, parsley, and dill. I think these are dill sprouts? I can't really remember where I put everything... Outside I have tons of lettuce (i'll probably have to thin some of it out) and rainbow chard. My mailman keeps stepping on the beds however, because he doesn't see the new tiny little green babies coming up yet, I guess. Tomorrow morning before he comes, I'm going to put huge stakes up with twine across and a sign saying, "Mailman, please don't step here!" Now if only I could get him to stop crumpling my New Yorker up....

Phil was up in Portland this weekend for a conference and brought his new stickers with him. I'm sportin' one on my bike now!

Meow kitty! This is the welcome I've been getting lately when I come home... Alex is teaching himself how to knit. It'd be easier if he had thumbs.

After recovering from being really really icky sick with the flu for over a week I'm just wrapping up the term. Just one more week and finals, then spring will be here! I'm taking anatomy and physiology next term, it's supposed to be one of the hardest series for health and science majors here. Other than that, I'm looking forward to a full load of upper division policy and planning public health classes. More on that later!
