Celebrating Life!

With Monday being the anniversary of our spared lives, we decided to do a little celebrating. We went out for dinner, Mexican food specifically, to a place we've never gone. Chilitos. It's like a Mexican version of Applebees. Dinner at the hospital was quiet and over time became quite tiring, but going to a fresh new place? That was great! The food was good, the atmosphere a little noisy, but it was still very nice.
Then we went to Home Depot for some vegetable seedlings to add to our little garden. We didn't get to do a garden at all last year so this year is a time to make up for it. We usually seem to get in over our heads with weeding and watering and all that goes with raising living things and I want this year to be better. I decided to put much of our garden into pots and planters by the back door where they'll get sun, be convenient for watering by me and not convenient for watering by the neighborhood cat, and have little or no problem with weeds. I really hope this works out and that the plants have enough root space. The summer squash and pumpkins will be in the ground for the sake of their roots but I think they're the only ones. Oh! I forgot until just now that Chandler was hoping we'd do some corn, so maybe we'll be adding that, but I think that's our limit.
So here's to life! May we make the most of the time we have while we have it. An old Irish proverb goes like this:


"Dance like no one is watching;
Sing like no one is listening;
Love like you've never been hurt;
And live life every day as if it were your last."
