Weekend Things

I have already accomplished some stuff from our Spring Bucket List. First, I'm back at running 3-5 miles at a time -- and it feels good. Second: My mother-in-law, Ada, and I planted seeds last weekend. They are living on my dining room table + sprouted up almost immediately! I definitely need to separate out some of the plants to prevent crowding (Ada was a little too enthusiastic with her seed pouring job), but otherwise, I think we’ll get some healthy plants out of this bunch.

Beets, parsnips, spinach, swiss chard, peppers, pumpkins, and a wide variety of herbs.
