Last weekend it was warm, so we planted our garden.
Well, in Colorado, it can snow *anytime*! And, it *will* snow when one is least prepared or suspecting.
Thus, on Wednesday night, I came home and Dennis was in the garage with pvc pipe & heat lamps. A Man After My Own Heart…My Hero!!! (more…)
With the start of May and presumably warmer weather, Dennis & I built a new raised bed for our garden. A 3 foot by 12 foot addition would more than double the square footage of our space. I was psyched to get ‘er done.

After 8 months of pseudo-parenting, the job came to an end. More abrubtly than it started. We had 5 days notice of the onset, but only 48 hours for the conclusion. Irreconcilable Differences. C’est La Vie.
Emma flew back to CA on Friday night. She cheerfully walked through security, with older sister, Meera, lagging behind. We waved goodbye and shouted, “We love you. You will be missed. Work hard and behave.”

We had all the ingredients in the pantry, so I made Christmas Chilaquiles. YUM!!!
My chilaquiles have shredded chicken, pepperjack cheese (or Manchego), tortilla chips, and salsa. Since it was so near Christmas, I decided to do it with green & red salsa.
