therapy in the smallest things...

i woke up feeling lonely today. even though matt was home when i crawled out of bed, he was on his way to a full shift at work, and the prospect of spending an entire sunday by myself was entirely unappealing. after seeing him off, i called my mom to see if she was available for coffee... they took me out to breakfast instead. sometime during breakfast conversation, i mentioned that i wanted to plant more herbs to accompany those remaining from last year's 'crop', and mom suggested that to be the perfect activity for the day...

after breakfast, i made my way to Home Depot, in search of seedlings, seeds, potting soil and terra cotta pots. mmmm. i love terra cotta.

spent a good hour in the best kind of therapy there is: doing something you love.

planted two beautiful, huge, containers that i've been eye-ing for several months now...

{basil and parsley - two of each because i really seem to go through it}


{pineapple mint... has a wonderful fruity aroma - hoping that all of that space will encourage it to spread its roots and grow...}


{basil, oregano, parsley. seeds, of course. i love the promise exemplified by newly planted seeds.}

feeling thoroughly relaxed, though still a tad grumpy. made some great progress on my mini-album documenting our March trip to Victoria, B.C., which i'll be using when I teach "Scrapbooking Your Travel Photos" at NSCC in July. i miss my husband.

baby date: tuesday morning. can't wait. wish my cold would go away so i don't have to wear a stupid surgical mask. those things just aren't attractive on anybody.
