Our Latelys

Lately, we've been busy.

Lately, we've had cold weather and huge, nearly-tornadic thunderstorms.

Lately, we've avoided any actual tornadoes in our area.

Lately, we are grateful.

Lately, our children have become restless with this stagnation of Spring's arrival.

Lately, they've been beating each other a little more earnestly than usual.

Lately, James has been putting up with crap at work while trying to keep this year's program from collapsing.

Lately, James has been desperately trying to plan next year to avoid any major pitfalls in his program.

Lately, Liz has tolerated James as he's digested those stresses.

Lately, Liz has grown weary of tolerating James as he continues to digest those stresses.

Lately, we've been watching our little seedlings emerge and grow on their little lit shelf in the dining room.

Lately, we've been cursing our poblanos for their obvious lack of motivation and clear inability to keep up with everything around them.

Lately, we took delivery of the cedar for our garden boxes that will house our seedlings as they grow into fine and mature citizens of their new home.

Lately, we are ecstatic about this year's garden and the promise of vegetable abundance.

Lately, we are ready for summer weather, summer vacation, and summer joys.

Lately, we are missing family; too many good visits in so few short months spoiled us and we grew accustomed. We should have known this would happen.

What a fun overview! And, just so you know, lately we've been missing you too.
