Today ...

I was told by a certain 6 year old that I looked like a pirate ... yes, this is an empty toilet paper tube, see my hook finger? Scary huh?!? Argh!

we started the first ever Fernandez Family garden! This is my happy garden face! Caloy, the kiddies and I planted romaine lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower, radishes, onions, strawberries, snap peas, corn and various herbs. I will plant some flowers and the carrots tomorrow. I am so proud of my green thumb, which was actually brown. We had so much fun playing in the dirt, digging holes and watering everything. Matthew and I got about 75 new freckles I think. After Mother's Day, we will add tomatoes, bell peppers, zucchini and watermelon too! I can hardly wait to taste the fruits (and veggies ... ha) of our labor.

Yipee for pirates and gardens!!! Life is grand!
