Here are some flower examples and plants from the backyard!
MINT!
Did you know you can grow your own green onions? Just cut off the bottom white part and place in water and then let them grow in a window. These things are already huge again since I took this pic.
Front yard!
My Dad and I went to see a theatrical production of The Sound of Music on August 4th. Afterward we went to dinner and then out to Baskin Robbins - one of our favorite places to go! Here's Dad with his Rocky Road!
I've taken up running this summer and the other week I got professionally fitted for new shoes. Here's the picture I took of my new gear after coming home from the store.
I recently spent one Saturday cleaning out one of the 4 fish tanks we have. This is my favorite tank because it houses my precious Angelfish. I have 3 of them and I bought them as babies when they were the size of a quarter. Now, they're about the size of a fist - they are beautiful - and so is the tank now that it's clean!
A co-worker recently had a baby and our team put together a super cute gift basket full of clothes. This was part of my contribution - a felt decoration and the card. Their nursery colors are teal and orange and so I fashioned everything in those colors. The E on the felt heart stands for "Emily" - the new baby's name.
On August 11th I completed my first 5k!!! I was slow....we ran up a huge hill for most of the way and I happened a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) and so I had to stop halfway through the race to go to the potty. I can usually run a 5k distance in 41 minutes...but this time I took 51 minutes for the aforementioned reasons :)
This picture is really hard to see...but they put a new pedestrian walking bridge over the busy highway right near our house. We sat in our pickup truck one night and watched the progress - it was a huge neighborhood event. Check the newstory about it here:http://www.ksl.com/?nid=148&sid=21729630
My pot out front is AMAZING! Almost everything in here is from seed - except the red begonias!
Another front pot
The tomatoes starting growing this week!! I'm so excited!!
We all headed to Lagoon (a local amusement park) this past weekend as it was the eBay company picnic there. I don't have any pictures of Tara and Chris, but they did go with us
Finally, my latest sewing project is almost complete. Just gotta put on the face and scarf. This is Ramin's new Christmas stocking. It matches the Snow Queen one I'm making for myself along with lots of decor items for Christmas - I've been collecting a set.
