Mary, Mary quite contrary...how does your garden grow?

Well, here is mine.

In all it's glory!!

My patio!!!!

A bunch of pots of herbs, tomatoes and flowers and joy all smooshed into a 6 feet by three feet area!

Believe me, if I could fit more, I would!

Enjoy!!!!!

This is my Basil and Lemon Verbena planter...

This is a view of the right side if you are standing on the patio...
This is the left side with Lemon Tyme and flowers...

That is my hanging tomato plant on the left side and more plants

And, thanks to a friend of ours named Boyd, I now have two new tomato plants with cages on each side...YUMMERS!!!!

And I will leave you with a cute shot of the babies before I left for work this am - they love when the screen door is open and I think they were all sitting there getting fresh air and watching the bugs running around outside. I ruined the fun when I called them to get this picture!

Hope everyone had a great Monday!!

Nothing to report

I STILL have not downloaded my pics from the weekend!

I tweaked my neck so between chiropractor and work I have not had a chance to download the weekend fun yet!


I may get a chance after tonight's practice for the signing of the National Anthem.


Yes - you heard right - I and six others will be signing the National Anthem at the Pirates game on Friday night! It was so much fun the last time we did it - I cannot wait to do it again!!!!!!


So - until I download new pics from my camera - here are a few I just took at my desk at work with my blackberry.....


A pic from when we signed last year at the game...a few of us are doing it again plus a few new ones...I will definitely do a whole post on that!!!!!!!!!


My freshly painted toes (my new favorite color for summer)!!! Gotta love pedicures!

My desk at work (cubicle heaven)...trust me, I am not complaining...I know many people that have tiny cubicles or no cubicle at all - I have a TON of room - yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My staple!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Plain old black coffee!!!! We are lucky enough at work to have Starbucks brewed on the ground floor - yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Convenience!

Andddddd breakfast - Jolly Time Caramel Apple Popcorn - my other new favorite!
