Garden Progress Report, 5/12/09
Last night, Dinah (my VT comp), Kent and I went to our community garden plot (32 ft x 3 ft) out by the State Fair Park in SLC.
We built a trellis across our plot for the plants to grow up. We are hoping this will give our plants more 'real estate' to grow.
It was actually a lot of fun to do, and we all felt pretty durn impressed with ourselves. Tonight we are going to actually do some PLANTING!
I'll have Kent take his camera and get us some photos. So stay tuned!

Weekend Rundown
Wow! This last weekend was FULL, and really great! Here's what we did:
Friday (it's great to have Fridays off!):
I slept in until about 9:30, cleaned the house, and played Zelda on the Wii.
Then Peta and Jenny (my British friends that Kent and I know from our days at BYU) came over and we had a leisurely lunch at Paradise Bakery (best cookies in the world). Then I took Peta and Jenny to the Capitol for a tour.
At 4:00 we met up with Kent and dragged him to "Ghosts of Girlfriends Past" (I wouldn't recommend it - shallow character development and too dirty for my tastes). Then we headed over to the Red Rock Brewery for dinner. Yummm-o!
It was GREAT seeing Peta and Jenny. They are sweet gals, SO fun, and we both love them alot.
Saturday:
Poor Kent had some training for work from 9 AM to 12 PM (what a way to spend a Saturday). So I slept in, did the laundry, and put together some chicken and potatoes in the crock pot for dinner.
At 2 PM, Kent and I met my VT comp, Dinah, at our garden plot at Wasatch Community Gardens by the state fair park. We weeded and put 4 barrels of compost on our plot -- all in the pouring rain. Literally pouring.
4 PM, we got home and ate my hot crockpot dinner.
6:30 PM - headed over to Abravanel Hall for the Utah Symphony's POPS CONCERT "Bravo Broadway". It was AMAZING!!! They had 3 guest singers who have all been on Broadway, and I was completely blown away! FABULOUS.
The guest singers were:
- Lisa Vroman (www.lisavroman.com)
- Rachel York (www.rachelyork.net)
- Doug LaBrecque (douglabrecque.theatre-musical.com)
10 PM - got home, finished up my RS lesson for Sunday, and got out my coupons
11 PM - Kent and I went grocery shopping at Smiths (I guess the old BYU habit of going grocery shopping on Saturday night at 11 PM dies hard some weekends).
Sunday
I taught a lesson in RS on finance. I thought it went well, although my time ran out so quickly that I didn't get to go over how a budget works. Oh well!
Took a two hour nap (yay!).
Made cornbread and enchiladas, and cherry crisp. Yum!
