Sorry friends, family, and readers three.
No pictures of the burgeoning farm today. I am up to my eyeballs in foam boards, writing with thick black markers, creating arrows of grandeur. In other words, I'm getting ready for the yard sale. Someone should have warned me what these things are like. I figured, throw some stuff out there, see what sells. But no. Instead it's like I am opening a thrift store and praying for rain to go away. Oh wait - I AM opening a thrift store and waiting for rain to go away!
Anyway, I'll post pictures of the sale so you can see it in all of its glory. Let's just say it is capped off with a prelit reindeer on the front porch and a Paris Hilton cut out on sale for $1000 or best offer.

Friday Farm Update
It's been a busy growing week at the farm. Lettuce is ready to be harvested, green beans are happy and saying hello. Strawberries are emerging and trying to turn red. And my purple sand cherry begs me daily to trim it up, but it's too beautiful!
Lettuce, Bell Pepper, Basil and Cilantro
Beautiful purple sand cherry!
Bed #1 - look at all that lettuce!
Bed #2 - green bean alert!

Conjunction Junction, What's Your Function?
We are taking off this afternoon and heading to Grand Junction for the weekend. My hope is that it involves a lot of sitting around while watching the kids play. I'm in need of a sitting around weekend instead of a millions of squats while gardening weekend. I may even try to get rid of my farmer tan.
Josh and Clara are very excited to play with all of the guys. Clara burst into tears this morning when she thought that Dave was leaving without her. But before we leave...
Hanging baskets - so pretty
I'm starting to love container planting.
Another container plant
Front bed - we are in the process of removing the railings on the front porch. You can see a few of the annuals that I planted that will hopefully fill in. What a labor of love!
Front island - lots of new annuals. I can't wait to see what they look like mid-summer.
Awww, I love snuggles.
Raised square foot garden on deck: Lettuce, cilantro, bell pepper and basil
Bed #1: Lots of lettuce, bell peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, yellow squash, basil, parsley, cilantro, and bush beans
Bed #2: I spent this week hooking up the sprinkler system so that it will self water. I have a few tweaks that I need to do, but so far so good!
Clara is definitely ready for the weekend
What a diva
Josh is ready, too!
