I went to wake up Gentry this morning and this is what I found. Scrumptious little toes and a boy who did not want to wake up. I love his morning hair as well. All rumpled and smashed. The first thing he asked for, Iron Man underwear. I wish I had some Iron Man underwear as well.
The garden is going well. These are blossoms from potato plants. I cut up the potatoes that were growing legs in my pantry and put them in the ground and this is what happened. Can you even believe it? It amazes me what will come out of the ground, and these burst out of the ground. It really was astonishing how a full bush rose out of the ground, complete with leaves and flowers. They didn’t even start as little buds or sprouts.
Yesterday we went and pulled one zucchini and two yellow zucchinis off their plants and ate them for dinner. We grilled them with an onion and butter and BBQ3000. And well, it was so good. I love the summer fresh foods that I can harvest from my own garden. And aren’t nectarines pretty much like candy growing on a tree? Oh my word, I love summer food.
I love my life. I know I whine incessantly about it, but really I would not have it any other way.
Being married to a man who understands me and laughs at my stupid jokes is one of the greatest blessings in my life. Also, he lets me talk about my digestional triumphs and still thinks I am sexy. What could be any better?
Having a baby who only hates me half the time makes me swell with joy. Watching him learn, laugh, and grow is amazing to me. I love that he tells me where to stick it and in return I tell him to sit in time out. But I love that he has the guts to tell it like it is. Honesty, above all else, is so key to me.
I love my little house. I love living in a beautiful valley. I love friends who don’t criticize my inane personality.
Today I am thankful.
I saw this guy hanging out in Erin’s garden today. He may actually be the same one she saw the other day. I wonder what he is guarding over there? Maybe her jalapeño.

Guess who did not wet the bed while wearing Iron Man underwear all night?
I know, I am so proud of myself.
Just kidding.
Go Gentry.
