Good Morning!

Hello Sunshine! =D

I've go that excited feeling fluttering in my chest. The next couple weeks are going to be crazy and fun! Prepping for a camping trip, a year in the planning. Canoe camping in Algonquin! So Excited! =D

Also this past weekend was fantastic too. Antiquing in small town Ontario. Adorable! X) Definitely brought out my shameful City Girl-itis. But! It was fun to tour around with my Lovely Lady Jennifer and she didn't mind my squeeing at all the tiny brick houses all in a row. <3 

Also Also. I finished my linen lace dress finally! The post should be up soon. Just have to add my zipper battle summary. ;)

Cheers!

Devastation and Dreams

I had a rather devastating gardening mishap on Sunday. At around 8am, I came out onto my balcony to see my near 6ft of tomato plants keeled over. It's a 37 storey drop... so I was rather panicked in getting them back up. 

=( 

I'm so sad about it. The plants simply got too big for the cage I had built. The metal wire cage bent under the swaying weight of the plants being whipped around by the wind. Boooo. 

I guess next year I'll have to build something more substantial to support them. They'll just have to chill on the ground for now! I'm so sad that they won't be what I imagined, sitting high and proud on my balcony, but hopefully they will still fruit. 

One day, I'll have a proper garden. =) So I'll keep dreaming.

Another Week, Another Worry, Another bottle of Wine.

JK! JK! (But only kinda. ;) )

Long weekend was wonderful. Took all the days to recharge. (With some friendly outings, of course. =) ) We're gearing up for a week long camping/canoeing trip at the end of the month now. Excited but also terrified. Mainly of pooping in the woods. That's when they Get yah. (Haha XD)

As always though, All the things. Finishing the linen dress and working on a BBQ post. I'm hoping to figure out the canning schedule too but my brain hurts already from coordinating this coming week (and it's only Tuesday). Lol.

Ah well. Life would be boring without challenge! So might as well embrace it.
