Learning to garden: green thumb 101

So this I've written about our garden before, but tonight we have a first. Our very first vegetables of our labor, as it may be. I came home and noticed that one of the zucchinis was ready to pick.


This was what I saw when I started to look around and move the leaves.
This was our first pick from our garden.



But it's not the only growth we are having. If you look carefully, you can see some yellow squash in the massive over growth that is the summer squash bush. The leaves are the size of toilet seats!



We have a few tomatoes forming, but not as much as I'd like. We also have some peppers popping out. One head of lettuce is almost ready and our apricot tree is spewing fruit left and right, even though we've lost like 1/3 of the tree. We need to break out the canning hardware.

So I'll let you know how out learning process continues and hopefully I don't screw it up too much.

The Symphony, Disney & Discovery

So this last weekend was full of family fun. Friday we went to Deer Valley and got to see the Utah Symphony perform Disney songs from classics such as Mary Poppins, Beauty & the Beast, It's a Small World, and many more. We had a blast.





Then, on Saturday afternoon, Zar was nice enough to share some tickets to the Discovery Gateway with us. Carrie loved it and had so much fun, but man what a madhouse. There were kids everywhere, and she had a few moments of poor sharing, and screams when we had to let someone else have a turn, or even just moving on to the next place. She's still a little young for a lot of the stuff, but we had fun anyway.





Carrie loved the farm section and really liked the horse, but freaked out when we let go of her.


I think the water feature made the biggest splash (see what I did there)!

I'm an idiot!

So after a year-and-a-half of my photo blog being created, and 8-9 months of it not being updated, I just realized that I had misspelled the tittle, and the address!  I had it as "Lense" instead of Lens.  And since Seen Through The Lens has already been taken, I had to change it to Seen Through the Lenses.  If you follow it, first thanks, I'm trying to update it and post some more pictures there.  Second, please update your reader or link it to the new address of www.seenthroughthelenses.blogspot.com

Take a poll, please

So with Bloggers new design features, I've also been playing around with some of the "gadgets" and among those, I've added a few polls to the side of the blog.
<---------------------
Please take a moment and share your answers to help me understand more of my audience and how you all interact with my blog. It'll help me create a more inviting and useful blog.

PS. Thanks for following our antics!

Dawn

Took this snapshot while out on an early morning run this morning. I'm training for a 5 man marathon relay in September. And since it's so hot in the evenings, vie had to start to exercise in the mornings, which for me is like 5:45.

Dancing in the Fountain

This last weekend, Caroline and I went for a play date with Chrysi and Clair down to the fountain at the Gateway. Caroline enjoyed it, and had fun, even though she was a little hesitant about getting wet and the water jets. But she really had a blast once the fountains special show happened. Music played, water sprayed, and the litle girl danced her heart out!

Bloggers new templates and designs

I like that blogger has made the templates and design of blogs easier, cleaner, and more interesting. I look forward to trying out a few new designs. So expect a few posts with nothing but an announcement of a new blog layout.

Back to work, that is all!
