Garden "Firsts"

We've been enjoying many of our "Firsts" from our garden...


Our First Roma Tomatoes!






Our First Strawberry...





Our first zucchinis...








And tons of herbs...

Daniel is working on getting some sun coverings due to the fun "scorching" heat we enjoy here in AZ. Looks like it will work out well. He's got the Brazilian "Jeitinho" - I love it.
Hope you all can get excited about gardens too. We are really learning a lot and have suggestions of what we'd do differently for anyone interested. And if anyone wants some basil or green onions, (and soon - tomatoes) let us know... We have lot's to share :)

Okay - this is a little gross, but totally funny...

Garden Update

We've been having a great time with our garden. Daniel and our friend Chris built a composter (photo included). Pretty cool stuff! We're growing all kinds of goodies. We are really excited. So far, no major setbacks (besides the dogs - notice the fence?). We still have room to plant some more stuff... any suggestions???

We love our pets

Shanka, Toby and Tula are quite the bunch. They really do love each other, as evidenced by the photos! (Just a side note on the boxes. We've watched them destroy the beds we purchased for them, so why not let them destroy something we got for free instead? Works for me.)

"5 Whole Years" - the song...

5 Year Anniversary

The 23rd of March was our 5 year anniversary! Pretty crazy, huh! Time really has flown by. So I tried to think of something creative to do for Daniel. I came up with this song. It's a little corny, but cute ;) Included are the pictures of "The Making of the Song" as well as a little video of me singing it. (Daniel is quite the camera guy!) Hope you all enjoy. It was a really fun night, I might add. When I came home from work, my kitchen was full of flowers (the ones I can plant!!!) and a ton of herbs and other goodies for our garden. He also surprised me with a new tree - Apricot! (Wood is the traditional gift for 5 years and he was super creative to think of giving me a tree!We went to dinner later that evening at a Carraba's. The waiter was really cool and surprised us with a delicious dessert (double chocolate brownies, with whipped cream and chocolate sauce!) What a lovely night. We'll continue to celebrate throughout the week - just because we can...
