happy easter

an egg

and my peeps

happy st. patty's day (child-friendly version)

shamrock cookie. jealous?

mean and green

some leprechauns

new greens

we were (and constantly are...) inspired by our green-thumb friends, and have made some additions to our sad little collection of plants. our only requirements: easy to care for and hearty. VERY hearty. and pretty, of course.

twin "assorted houseplants"
(if you know what these are, please comment)

this lovely mandarin
(pot from big lots - $16, hello?!)

we officially chopped the basil. it made a valiant effort to survive the winter, but everything that lived was pretty droopy.

i'm kind of anxious about these stumpy remains... we'll see. it comes from a very long, wise line of basil.

and eat it, too

a few days late, but check out brian's awesome birthday cake!
