Nothing but Thyme.

A few days ago, let's see...I guess, more than a week ago, we planted our two window boxes with herbs. It's a whole thing, one box has 'thirsty' plants, one has 'drier' plants. So anyway, today Daisy Lu and I were kicking it, you know waiting for the laundry and deciding we were not the kind of people who watched 'The View', and I noticed some growth. So I took some pictures of our dirt.

The only one coming in is the thyme. But it's only been a week.

I'm blogging today, because I have been on leave for almost six weeks and Monday I have to go back to work. I do love my job but it's hard to hold a candle to spending my days like this:




But what are you gonna do? I will still have evenings like that...and some mornings...and every Sunday, but it's not enough. I have loved being this kind of Dad, and maybe all dads want to be this kind of dad but someone has to get out there and pay for the ponies. Which, for now, will be me. Luckily Sweet D will be not be alone.

I know, right?! They make quite a pretty pair.


And then there is Scout: Yesterday, L came into the bedroom and found Scout like this:

Take a good look.

She snapped that picture and, taking any chance to pose, he shifted to a more flattering position:

So L said, "Ok, good. Now give me contemplative."
