It’s the first warm week CT has had all year! Our back yard is looking prettier all of a sudden, thanks to our puffy white blooms.
Yes, they are a little unruly, but so are my eyebrows and nobody seems to care 😀
My vegetable garden (my first time ever growing anything…on purpose) is sprouting!! I am so excited!
Green beans…
Zucchini & squash are looking the same, but I know that something’s brewing below the surface…
The romaine lettuce is popping
Even the onions!
Not to mention that my yard turned into Animal Kingdom!
I realized what a wuss I am. I saw a black snake and screamed so loud, I think the neighbor’s cat went deaf! He slithered (bleh!) away, and I stumbled upon this guy that didn’t move quite as quickly.
He heard me scream and tucked his head in, hahah!
This little cutie didn’t move. He must be smart. He must have known that the high-pitched noise coming from me wasn’t my battle cry.
My mom bought me a hummingbird ornament for the garden.
The crazy Spring Fever was in the air without a doubt. Either that or the solar-powered glow of the hummingbird must have given off some kind of mood lighting. Either way, these bugs were into it.
Okay, I know it’s borderline inappropriate, but I couldn’t believe my eyes, hahahh!
Bug Porn. This blog has sunk to a new low.
I’ve also learned that weeding sucks. Royally. It’s the worst task ever. I may start an advertisement on craigslist…
Need to hire a garden weeder. Must like frogs. Will pay in cookies for compensation.
Sounds good to me!

Ha! Thanks for appreciating my sick humor!
We are growing eggplants and tomatoes because they need less sun. I would just saw water everyday. That is what we do and they seem to grow. ha. Not that I’m very good or anything.
OMG…. dying laughing about the bugs!!! And that turtle is too cute! Weeding has to my LEAST favorite outdoor task! WEED CLOTH IS A MUST!!!! It’s worth it’s weight in gold! 🙂
Wow, that is a lot of wildlife. I love that you found bug porn and I would have screamed and ran for the hills if I had seen that snake. I would never have thought that was lettuce, it looked like little weedy things.
The only reason I knew it was lettuce is because I planted the seeds in clumps and in a straight row. It looks different from the other weeds. It was really had to tell what was what for a while.
I love the pretty white blooms! And your vege garden is loking awesome, so excited for you Mindy. Haha, and you have cute visitors – Mr Tortoise and Mr. Frog tee hee. The humming bird looks really pretty too. And um….good on ya Mr Bug LOL!
Ha! Katie accidentally let a black snake into the house a few weeks ago. Needless to say yours truly spent about 15 minutes hooking and coaxing it back towards the door.
Great looking garden! I’m jealous.
HIIIII!!!!! Congratulations! I hear you’re going to be a daddy!!!! Anthony & I are so happy for you!
OMG, a snake IN THE HOUSE?!?!?!? I’d have a full blown panic attack.
