Inspiration from a Strawberry

Oh Weak! It's been over a month. Super mega quadruple weak. lol

Here's the thing... the planning, preparing, sowing, transplanting, etc. of a garden is fun. The whole 'waiting for it to grow' part? Not so much. Boooorrring, we say.

Right now we're just in the growing phase, but even more so, the weed maintenance phase -which we haven't been too vigilant in actually maintaining. Even though we've been picking small handfuls of veggies every now and then things are still boring. Plus it's as hot as you know what out there.

Anyone else at the ho-hum stage?

Yesterday I discovered the Care Bears and Strawberry Shortcake on CBS morning cartoons. Yeah, that's right. I freaked out. I went to the website to play games and watch videos, and what do you know? Miss Strawberry herself giving out garden inspiration.

Yahoo! I love Care Bears and Strawberry Shortcake. Now if they would just play the Gummi Bears... I wish I had known about these cartoons last week when we were doing the Nielsen Ratings diary. They would have gotten my endorsement.

(Oh, by the way, have you been to kodakgallery.com? You can make an actual physical book with your photographs in the pages for not that much more than getting them in prints. LOVE IT!)

Anyway, back to weeding.
