Stuff, Lots And Lots Of Stuff

We hauled most of the stuff off the boat today and it has to go somewhere.  The only place warm and dry is in the house.  So this is what we do each summer, we stack it in the house and walk around it.

Stuff in the hall...


Stuff in the kitchen...


Stuff in the living room...


And stuff in our bedroom...


There is also a ton of stuff that is stored outside!  The kids get annoyed by all the stuff, but that's the way it goes for now.

I tinkered around a bit in the garden and am excited to really dig in and get ready for opening day, Monday, June 18.

I was surprised to see how big the tomatoes got while I was gone.


This primrose is my absolute favorite.  It has this weird shape, sort of a drooping look, but it smells amazing!  It doesn't put out a lot of scent all the time, mostly in the evening, but the scent reminds me of a coconutty Hawaiian vacation!

    Welcome back! I'm so jealous of your spinach and lettuce. Mine is coming along but doesn't look nearly as good as yours. Evonne
