un-gardening

so i finally get over to our garden the other day.  everything is dead.  not just dead, it's overly dead.  yes, i think that's possible.  i watered everything to soften it to make it easier to weed, then proceeded to weed for about an hour.  got a lot done.  lovely!

then i muster up the energy (and the girls) and head over there this morning around 8:30am.  i'm trying to turn the water on, but seem to be having problems.  the faucet wasn't working.  so i mess as much as i can with it.  still no dough.  so i meander on over to another faucet.  no help.  i go to yet another one...nothing.

at this point, i'm getting ticked off.  i thought maybe the garden police came and turned off our water or something.  eventually, after wasting 40 minutes trying to figure it all out, i call maintenance for the complex and ask them if the main water has been turned off.  (a-ha!  now the wheels in my head are finally starting to turn a little)  indeed the water was turned off.  great. 

so much for gardening today.

baby blues

now, when i'm talking about baby blues, i most certainly am not inferring that this little guy was sad, 'cause that's certainly not true!  you can guess to what i might be referring to.  my gosh!  he has the most beautiful eyes!  we had fun trying to lure him away from the ball.

the only thing that could get this sweetie from that ball was his super soft teddy bear!

yes, there's a lot of pictures.  too many to chose from really.  he was so fun to shoot!
