and I’m wondering why I never remember to take photos of this type of stuff. well I can remember this one time when I did but in large part (like today) I forget completely and am left with just words. 
the ironic thing is that I took the girls to a hands on workshop at the apple store to learn iMovie. it was fun and we laughed and they both made a short little trailer which is actually pretty cool. now they are in their room filming footage for a stop motion film, yes, they have come up from the days of doing this with a simple cell phone.
have I mentioned that they pretty much make my day? I’m curious to see what type of stuff they come up with now that they know there’s a fully accessible tool in the house at their beckon call. that having been said I wonder what I’ll use it for; maybe I’ll finally add in the readings section of the blog where I read some of my poetry or some of my favorite children’s books. I still think that would be an interesting addition albeit a vanity project in that I’m not exactly Dr. Seuss or any other children’s book author. nope, I’m just an adult who at times can be very in touch with my inner child ;) and at this point in time I have a brand new toy that I’m just itching to do something really cool with!
btw their movies are titled “Mac in Tosh, interview” and “the apple days, a tiny movie”
well really maybe they just knew that all this cold weather and snow would make daydreaming about next years garden an easy choice to make. . . when I lived in Portland, OR someone told me about “
always will be; there is nothing that compares to a fresh home grown tomato. I’m not a indoor starter, been there / done that / didn’t do so well so I’m a direct sow kind of girl with the exception of my muse that will be purchased from a local greenhouse, multiple heirloom varieties. that brings me back to the seeds, and there in lies all the possibilities of a summer well spend. wow, my mouth is watering just thinking about picking something right off the plant and eating it (I even ate some carrots with only a good wiping down on my jeans – a little dirt never hurt anyone).
well, last year we planted a number of things that either didn’t really take off (beets & peppers) or the girls didn’t really enjoy (radish’s) and I had waaayyy too much basil. so already I’ve got some do’s and don’ts for next year. for instance, I’d like to do some cucumbers and my girls love squash & zucchini so why not grow them?? a friend shared with us pickled (& spicy) green beans that I’d love to try making and as I was preparing Thanksgiving dinner I thought that perhaps I should have grown more than just basil in the herb department. . .
