I'm a sucka

Look! Another chicken coop! That will undoubtably make my gardening experience more pleasant. At least olfactorily. I'm pretty sure that's a word. He promised he would paint it red and it would be cheerful to look at, knowing I'm a sucker for anything red. Oops, how did this picture sneak in here?
We woke up yesterday to a few inches of snow, which is still covering the ground this morning. I said the eff word a lot, because it meant I had to dig out all the snow pants, boots, hats, mittens, and snow toys I had packed away. This photo shows my seed starts, pointing their delicate leaves toward the snowy window. Not sure why Mitch's car is in the backyard.

Last week I somehow ended up being the "Popcorn Mom" at the elementary school, which means on half days I'm out on the playground, popping and bagging popcorn from 8am-12. Also, putting stamps on kids' foreheads. I was feeling stretched pretty thin as I counted thousands of Box Tops for the PTA, and I had a glass of wine. Henry reminded me to call his friend's mom to see if his buddy could come over for a sleepover. I remembered that the mom had coached Henry's t-ball team a few years ago and mentioned that the girls were signed up this year. Guess who ended up agreeing to coach t-ball while she was feeling relaxed from the wine?
