march madness.

like all good things, this past weekend came to an end much too soon.  it was the first full weekend of exclusively glorious weather, and we totally soaked it up.  i think we ate every meal outdoors the entire 2.5 days.  we also planted one whole bed of the new raised beds jb had constructed a couple weeks ago.  tomatoes, tomatillo, several peppers, cucumbers, squash, eggplant, and pole beans in that one.  pictures are on the other computer, so i'll try to post them later tonight.  we should have the other bed ready to go by the end of this weekend as well - i think some of the same types of plants, maybe pumpkin or some melons too.  i am so unbelievably ready for the end of school (4 weeks!) so i can spend my evenings lazing in the gardens, watching the dogs frolic and the lightning bugs come to town.

while indoors, we spent a lot of time watching the insanity that is march madness this year.  my goodness i have never done so poorly on my brackets in all my life.  that being said, it's been a blast to watch all the super-close games and upsets.  there is just something about an underdog team.  let's just hope one of the many underdogs left in the final four can whip duke.

finally, it was the one-year wedding anniversary of our close friends w&d.  they were out of town to celebrate, but i wanted to give them a shout out anyway.  their wedding last year was gorgeous and an absolute blast.  many happy returns to them.  here's a picture of me and jb at the event.  it's also probably the last time he and i were in a photo together at the same time - pitiful.
