First Strawberry 2012

First strawberry of the year. #gardening

This is the first ripe strawberry to come out of my garden this year. Pretty soon I plan to have dozens. I planted a shitload of strawberries this year. It is only a matter of time before my army of succulent strawberries are ready to take over the world. Or…. get turned into jam and pies. Whichever.

The Fancy Gets Stitches

Hanging out with The Fancy at the ER waiting on her stitches.

My beautiful Fiance has gone and injured her hand. She had an accident with a slippery wine glass that resulted in a break and slice of her hand. Despite the fact that the injury involved a wine glass, Lauren was sober when she incurred her injury. However, it was a total bummer because she had just taken an bath and was all ready to go to bed… At least, that’s what she thought. Unfortunately for her, instead of getting under the warm covers, we jumped in the car and drove to the emergency room where she would be getting stitches for the first time in her life. She was a trooper though. The doctor stitched her up good and according to the nurse on duty, we were the second alcohol-related incident of the night… Even though Lauren had told her that she was not intoxicated. haha. So yea… Lauren has three new stitches.

Herbs Freshly Picked from the Garden

Herbs freshly picked from the garden.

The garden is coming along rather nicely; even during this drought that we’re currently experiencing in northern Indiana. I’ve had to resort to watering in the evenings due to the severe lack of rain. My herbs have been doing exceptionally well. The basil, oregano, and thyme are doing great. However, my spinach is not doing so hot. Despite the watering it just doesn’t seem to like this dry weather. Boooooo. I’m hoping that we’ll be getting some rain soon because I have been wanting to have a few bonfires and this burn ban is really bumming me out.
