In other news...
My husband and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary last Friday. I'm having a hard time reconciling the fact that I am old enough to be married to someone for that long! We hired a babysitter and went out to eat, which was great. I rarely get that kind of alone time with him nowadays, with work and the kids. It was nice. We had Thai since it was what we ate on our almost first date.
The garden is slowly getting planted. We have a quarter acre and around here you can't trust there to be no frost until around June 1st. Then it's a made rush to get everything in! So far we've planted: sweet potatoes, corn, broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, onions, beans, peas, potatoes, arugula, and asparagus. We also have the garlic that we planted in the fall. We also have a large container herb garden planted. We still have much to plant, but we're getting there...if only it would stop raining long enough for us to plant. I have a small flower garden too. Many of those plants are bulbs or perennials, but I planeted some other things including giant sunflowers (which I look forward to snacking on). I want to plant more of those. I also need to plant my calendula flowers (for beauty and tea) and buy some annuals. I was thinking this for the border:
They're miniature snapdragons from here.
In other news, the apple trees are doing well. It looks like we should have a decent crop this year. The grapes and wild raspberries are all loaded. :)
EBSCO vendors have been by and have been abnormally aggressive in their sales pitch, uncomfortably so in fact. Just a warning to all you other librarians out there. The two that swung by included one of the VPs so I thought that was the reason but my husband saw them a day later, without the VP, and they were still obnoxious. Would you believe that their VP started lecturing me on how to get more money from my administration? Unbelievable. I've gotten several follow up calls. They're only making me want to call up Proquest. :p

I keep telling my colleague that my backyard is her (husband's) backyard. He apparently wants a garden. I wouldn't mind a garden, but haven't the green thumb necessary to make one work.

If I lived nearby (and, you know, time) I'd help you!

Your garden sounds amazing!!

And thank you again...though it's really not. At least the flower garden really has a long ways to go.

Maybe it was SUNY's fault. You owe me a decaf tea at the next conference we attend together. :p
