So, this is a pic of me at 23 wks pregnant. I like this pic because it makes me look skinnier than I really am.Spring is continuing to spring on us, and here are a few pics of Baby's Day Out.
Daddy and Joman have been tending to the square foot gardens -- one is planted now, and the other is still waiting until a little later in the season. We sure have a LOT of bunnies around, and no fencing yet...so we'll see what happens.
This spot I am claiming as my own. I'd like to pull up the edging, rototill the whole area between the path and the wall, pave a little area towards the middle, plop a lovely bench there, and lavishly plant up the whole area with a bright mix of perennials and herbs. The "wall" is actually a huge planter box. I think we will get some big pots of plants that will climb and/or spill over that wall, only they will need to be shade-lovers so any suggestions for this whole project are welcome. I haven't even started yet but I'll update when I do. What do you think?
And here's a project I haven't shared with you yet. I found a tutorial online showing how to fuse plastic grocery bags, by ironing them, into a thicker yet pliable plastic material that can be stitched. So I delved into our overflowing stash of grocery bags, processed them, and came up with these not-so-pretty but very satisfying totes. I was going to make cloth ones, but you can't beat free. I'll make cloth ones as these wear out, if ever they do, and if ever I get to the bottom of the huge pile of grocery bags.
Baby has a new trick. He thinks springy-dirty-outside-toes are delish.
Love you all, and so glad you are here.

He is a doll!
Glad to be here. I love your pics they are so soothing to me. Especially the stars in the windows.
I will be praying for the babe in womb!
Hugs...
He is a cutie! Thanks for inviting me so I can still read your blog!
Thanks for the great photos of Tobes enjoying the spring flowers--he is sooooo gorgeous! I love your belly photo too!
Thanks too for keeping us updated on the new one. We are praying! Love you so very much XvdOXOXOXO Mom
You look absolutely wonderful as a momma-in-waiting! :) I am dreadfully large already at only 9 weeks. I will keep you and your growing baby in my prayers. And your youngest one is just adorable! Thanks for inviting me to your blog.
I vote for shade impatiens, fern,lamium,tiarella, and heuchera!
They are all perennials except the impatiens, and they all love shade and like to hang over walls:-)
Thanks so much for the invite, Moey! Many prayers being said for your little one!
Thanks for the fab ideas... I want so badly to try the plastic melding!
And, thank you for the beautiful pictures. Baby's just gorgeous!

I can only offer my prayers for the baby, it is difficult when they are in special care, but they come through. Our youngest was born at 30 weeks. Modern advances mean that much can be corrected. Thank you for the invite to join you here. I feel very privileged to be here.
Moey, I'm glad you are well and able to think clearly about all that is going on. I was offered all kinds of testing with my third because of my "advanced" age but declined apart from the US because the other tests wouldn't have changed our decision to love and care for our child. Kate was born without any problems but I am sure we would have loved her wholeheartedly regardless.All children are special , just special in different ways.
