What a great way to spend a Sunday!  Photography class!!  All day with 3 pro's, 3 models (2 human, 1 well behaved dog!) and lots of interesting folks.  Keep your eyes open, I hope to put some of this new knowledge base to good use in the near future! 

Walking around with about 7 other students, we all had questions.  Each question answered by 3 pro's with a technical and artistic aspect with the bonus of personal style from each photographer.  Great way to learn!!   Too many cooks?  Not in this class!  Well seasoned pot if you ask me!


Now to go play with the 30 day trial of software they recommended.  The software was as much fun to discover as all the little buttons and knobs on the camera! 

Now for my index finger to get a work out. 

Spring Fever, my temp is rising!

I have the sudden sickness that follows many this time of year!  Spring Fever is here, and I know of only one cure... getting my hands dirty!!

The 4 of us set out on our first family gardening adventure yesterday.  Start seeds!  It was cold and wet, the kids were loving the long morning in PJ's and I was itchy to do something!!   Did I mention it was really cold and rainy outside?!  Really cold and wet!!!

Maddie and I started broccoli, her favorite veggie!  Jude and Daddy started cilantro, our family favorite herb!  We'll be sharing lots of seedlings with neighbors if all 25 of each plant start. 

The kids seem to really enjoy getting dirty.  Daddy was a bit nervous about the mess, and I was nervous that I wouldn't have enough room to do another 6 more trays like this for lettuce, arugula, spring onions, cucumbers and tomatoes!  Just not enough flat space in this one window.
Then I discovered the window sill in my bathroom!  Oh, I am doing more seeds!  Shh... just don't tell Pete yet!  I am hoping the sill is deep enough he wont notice the trays for a week or so.  Heck, he might not notice the sill for weeks if I keep the curtains closed as usual.

So what are you planting this spring?!
