Peas! Today we went where many babies have gone before, but a first for Ben Dana- we envisioned whirled peas! Peas up the nose, on the chin, on the highchair- even on me, and with some luck some peas may have actually been eaten by his royal heinny. It was our first adventure in vegetables. Cereals had been had up until now, rice & oatmeal respsectively. And although they went along well enough, peas we had fun with. I will get a picture up when I can, but my computer is being difficult. So, peas for 2 more days then on to the wild crazy world of green beans! Stay on the edge of your seats folks, we'll keep you posted.

Febuary Begins

Well, in my home state it's still winter, at least through Easter. But here in Texas (the friendly state) there are daffodils blooming and flowering trees spreading their colorful arms. walmart is already sectioning off the garden section of the parking lot. It's my favorite time of year in Texas. As the Indigo Girls have said, "There's something about the south-land in the springtime..." And it's true. I love spring, I love that here it comes early. I get to start to plan out my gardens. This year I'm going to try to conquor the final section of the front flower beds. Last year as I was 'great with child' I couldn't bend over long enough to do all I wanted to do. So with Ben now able to sit up and play somewhat independently, we plan to have a lovely spring in the front yard. So spring come forth quickly!
