Summer's Coming

Have you heard about the 2010 Summer grow along? This lady started a group, we are all planting the same plants, and will do things with the plants. For instance, planted peppermint, so will be making recipes with peppermint. We also planted thyme, chamomile and edible marigolds. I am still on the hunt for chamomile. I am going to go to some of the local garden stores tomorrow to see if I can find some. She will send you an email every week if you sign up too!

It has been wet, chilly and raining to beat the band here this week. I know that summer is coming, but we are having a wet wintery throw-back. Maybe it will be nicer next week.
We have these funny bank commercials here, along the lines of the (insert your weird job here) we salute you. But it has to do with things that are peculiar to the pacific northwest, so socks and sandals guy is one of them. But really, living here, you can almost see why people do that.
Yesterday, went to my daughter's track meet, and it went from pouring down rain, to sunny, to windy/blustery to sunny again. All in about 45 minutes. My sandals that I wore to the track meet were not a great thing to wear. If I had had socks, I might have just put them on!

Anyway, have plans to sew this weekend, a new nightgown, and finish the skirt I am working on.
I have a lot of school stuff to do too, before the end of the year. I also want to continue working on my blog. But it will be nice to have just a relaxing weekend. Summer's coming!
