May Resolution: Visiting the Farmers' Market

It's time to roll out another monthly resolution! This month I'm going to be focusing on visiting my local farmers' market on Saturday mornings. The market just opened three weekends ago and I did a bit of shopping last weekend and this morning. There are gorgeous veggies to buy (asparagus, lettuce, and radishes) and lovely potted herbs that really get me in a springtime mood. I can't wait for the fruit to start appearing!

Speaking of spring...here are some photos of the azalea that grows near my front door. I love seeing those gorgeous hot pink blooms when I come home from work.



Dave and I are meeting up with friends for sushi tonight. I can't wait! I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend.

How-To: Planting & Caring For Fall Bulbs


=



I've been thinking about Paperwhites for the past couple of Christmases, but I never got around to planting any until this year. I picked out a couple of bulbs this past Saturday and can't wait to see them grow into plants and bloom. It's not too late to plant Paperwhites if you want flowers for Christmas - just make sure you plant them this week!
