this past weekend we put up our garden boxes and fenced them.
oh... we also covered them with a mesh cover. since two days ago it's hailed twice. this last friday night it had hailed while i was out with a couple girlfriends and i came back home to my tomato plants i'd left out to harden off. they were completely shredded.
they're pretty vigorous growers so they'll come back in a week or so. but still :*(
now i'm prepping for a music festival in southern colorado where i'll be selling my wares (jewelry). music festivals have turned into a whole scene and culture of their own. i've never been, so it'll be an eye-widening experience for me.
a week after that, my gem and i will hit the road on a southwest US road trip to visit my family. not sure if we're driving the whole way yet, or flying for part of it. either way it'll be good to see my parent's, see their new home and to visit my lil nephew.
as for the rest of the summer, we'll be hitting it pretty hard with the camping. i have a bucket list of places i'd like to see in the mountains here. would also love to take my dad fishing. i'm also still trying to sway the bf into a more pampered weekend getaway at some point ...Santa Fe perhaps. nothing crazy. just secluded, relaxing and AWAY.
summer projects are to learn how to can with my gf who just moved in (roommates gf) and store some of our summer garden. still wanna make those japanese garden lanterns from hypertufa.
for fox sake. so much.
