So the last 3 days, I've managed to sneak about 20-30 minutes out back in the garden.  It's only worked between 10-11am since that's when Titus is generally taking a little nap.  I've bundled him into his carseat or moses basket and put him in the shelter of Felicity's playhouse.  Fortunately, Felicity loves being outside in the garden.  I'm *starting* to feel like I'm getting on top of the weeds, but there's still a ways to go.

I'm reminded of the verse....something about harvesting crops you haven't sown in the promise land.  Well, I suppose I made the investment last year, but man, have my strawberries exploded this year!  Here's a fraction of my fruit filled jungle.

The first time we went out, we picked this collander of strawbs and raspberries.  I've gone out twice more and picked just as much each time in the last couple of days - throwing about a third away in fact as the creepie crawlies beat me to some.  I need to go out and get some more ripe ones I saw this morning, but it's just a matter of having the time!

Sweet results!!  (And thanks Auntie Laura, for the awesome t-shirt. :-)

This is a picture Simon took last night as we watched 'Brave' after dinner.  (and thanks, Auntie Laura, for the awesome Paddington blanket - I might use it more than Titus, it's so cozy!)
