My least favorite 3/4 of the year, when forgetting my allergy meds means a coughing fit every time I'm outside for any length of time. After 3 years, my body still considers the plant life here an enemy.
Spring has also brought a slew of visitors. Mom and C visited 2 weeks ago. Both were in desperate need of a rest. We had a few excursions together, to Chickie Wah Wah to hear Jon Cleary, to the zoo so that they could take a picture of an alligator (I adopted one for the niecelet for Christmas). We also visited the sculpture garden at City Park. But Mom also spent a couple days just reading, and Chris watched basketball here and there. I was excited to show them around my new home and to spend time with them, especially considering that we're it now. I also did a fair amount of knitting.
The week after, my pal B came in for the NCAA Sweet Sixteen and Elite 8. We had a great time exploring some new restaurants together and with Kevin; additionally, we saw some great basketball.
In between there, I got my garden planted and my seeds started: a couple varieties of tomatoes, 3 of beans, 2 of peppers. Basil is growing gangbusters already, and the mint has exploded. It's not enough to survive an apocalypse, but it'll save us a bit at the farmer's market and may provide some summer goodness over the winter. I'm determined for this crop to survive.
