It&#8217;s picture of a garden made out of plants&#8230;.cute, eh?  I was going to take a picture from the second level of our house, but never got around to it, and then I found this picture on the camera.  Again, with Xandra going a little picture happy&#8230;.not like I needed 40 pictures of this particular creation&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>She also took this shot of the crochetted quilt that I&#8217;m working on&#8230;.I&#8217;m getting closer and closer to finishing it.<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/xangelle\/2554158246\/\" title=\"Crochet Quilt by Xangelle, on Flickr\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3095\/2554158246_3af7c59102.jpg?resize=500%2C333\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" alt=\"Crochet Quilt\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s going to look a little different than it looks in that picture but for my first granny square quilt&#8230;.it&#8217;ll be okay.  It&#8217;ll work, and at this point, that&#8217;s all I care about. <\/p>\n<p>I was going to take a video of the rain that was pouring down right now, but then figured that would be stupid and so I&#8217;d just tell you that it&#8217;s POURING RAIN over here&#8230;.and I wonder how my teensy, tiny little veggies in the garden are doing.  They&#8217;ve just started growing and I can&#8217;t wait to make a delicious salad or even a green smoothie out of my homegrown veggies.<\/p>\n<p>So, I was going to take a stupid video of the stupid rain, and that reminded reminded me of one day last week when I was up with &#8216;Siah at 4am, and I almost took a video of the darkness out in my back yard.  <\/p>\n<p>We have a greenspace behind our house, and even though it was barely light out, the birds were going to town.  It was so amazing sounding, and they were SO LOUD.  But, I was WAY TOO TIRED and hoping desperately that &#8216;Siah would settle down and actually drift off to sleep instead of just singing and cooing himself half asleep.  <\/p>\n<p>When he finally went to sleep, I crawled back in bed and put the pillows over my head and CRASH&#8230;.I was gone.<\/p>\n<p>When I woke it, it was all gone too.  Oh well!  I&#8217;m sure there will be another early, early morning sometime soon&#8230;.not fun!<\/p>\n<p>Alright, post is finished, baby is still sleeping, Jon&#8217;s trainee has just arrived and I need to go and get dressed and tidy the house ASAP!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, It&#8217;s Monday morning&#8230;.how&#8217;s it treating you?
