Garden is thriving, a huge turn around from this time last year when the garden was only in about a week or two, potatoes are blooming and will be harvestable in another week or two! Radishes are overly abundant and everything is lush and lovely.

I start school in one week, going to take my year’s wait for nursing course to start and take a massage therapy diploma program, so by September of next year I’ll be a licensed massage therapist! (and a nursing student…lol)

We’re hanging on here, I’ve begun dating (eeps) and it’s few and far between as my one day a week when Pixie is with her father has now switched to a day I’ll have school…oh well, something will work out and so far I’ve been underwhelmed with the pickings out there…

I have yet to visit the local farmers market! We’ve been strapped for cash thanks to little to no child support coming in and my bad luck in finding work so the “splurge” of a farmers market takes a back seat to new shoes and necessities for the girl.

School is out! Pixie is thrilled to have the year behind her, I’m hoping to figure something out at some point as to how I can homeschool her again, she truly did not like public school and I hate having to put her in there. Hopefully a door will open soon! In the meantime she’s working this summer on various self-lead reports and projects. She’s reading a ton for school (a contest) and is researching and writing a report on lightning and thunder. She’ll be moving up to a new school in September, hopefully this one will offer more scholastic challenges for her.

All this garden porn reminds me to update my Etsy shop!
