It snowed. I’m actually glad, it was feeling a little too much like spring for still being winter. Although yesterday we spent quite some time outside. Peter adores it. He’ll pull at the front doorknob (I’m glad he can’t open it) or bring me his shoes and socks. Then he cries super lots when we come in. We walked to the library yesterday. I couldn’t keep track of him while I was getting books, but he seemed not to get into any trouble.

Other cool things I did lately:

• Went to my little brother’s basketball game. Almost my whole family was there, which was a lot of fun, but Peter was ready for bed. I spent a lot of the game out in the hall with him. Kinda felt like church.
• Visited my grandparents. My husband was able to share some things he was learning at school about balance with my grandpa. It was cool to see him kind of work as a physical therapist. I think he’s going to do a great job.
• Played at the mall playground. I don’t like the mall, but the playground was lots of fun for Peter. There was a lot of other kids around. He was trying to play peek-a-boo with them and they just stared at him. Very cute.
• Sewed a bunch. I’m actually starting to like it. Except I really need to get my machine fixed.
• Made my own seed starter for $30. These can cost hundreds of dollars. Don’t ever buy one–make your own. And guess what? The seeds came today. I bought them in bulk, so if you want some of the following, I have them:
• Scarlet runner beans: Gorgeous climber with red flowers, also produces beans
• Asclepias tuberosa (Butterfly weed/Pleurisy root): Orange flowers, home to monarch butterflies
• Striped Armenian cucumber: I’m really excited for this. I love Armenians, and this is just a little more exciting.
• Yellow pear tomato: My favorite small tomato. Best eaten warm and right off the vine.
• Leek: I need to get these planted. This is my new crop this year, I’ve never grown or eaten them.
• Great White and Cherokee Purple tomato: An heriloom, organic tomato. I wanted to try some different colored tomatoes out.
• French/Charentais Melon: Another crop to try out.
