D.A. Maximus Wins Primary in a Landslide

With the return of cold nights and mornings the electric blankets that Lexy's dad graciously bought have once again become the favorite item of them house. For a while we had a taste of what people were calling "springy" weather or what I like to call "Florida Winter" weather. Either way it was a nice change from the back to back days of below freezing lows. I can't wait for spring - not just for the warmer weather but for the beauty that it brings. 

Last night Kylie, Megs, and I went to Lowes and bought some seeds to start a garden with. I also bought five differnt varieties of sunflowers, some of which are suppose to reach a height of sixteen feet!  Now when we give people directions to the house we can tell them to look for the giant sunflowers.
I also purchased some smaller, and colored, varieties so that we can have cut flowers for our house and friends.  Plus we always had sunflowers in our garden(s) when I was growing up, so it just seemed like an essential item to purchase.  In addition we picked up several packets of vegetable and herb seed.  So far for herbs we have - dill, mint, tarragon, basil, thyme, and there's already a hedge of rosemary growing next to the carport.  On the veggie side we have - cherrie, roma, and early girl tomatoes, black beauty eggplant, red onion, a mixture of bell peppers, mesclun greens, plus bibb and grand rapids lettuce -  yellow squash, zucchini, some form of (green) pole beens, potatoes and a few others still need to be purchased.
