Saturday morning Kristen and I headed to a nursery in Lafayette to pick up some plants for the garden. We've had bad weather or have been out of town on the weekends, so we're a little behind on the gardening. We picked up some tomatoes, onions, marigolds, a lot of pepper plants, and a few other random bits and pieces.
Kristen spent some time cleaning up the patio, the plan is to have a larger patio garden this year since we had to give up half of our garden plot. We also did some digging and raking in the garden in order to prepare for a big planting session. The dirt looks good, we're hopeful that we'll have another fruitful growing season.
We also took some time to put Kristen's car up for sale on Craigslist. Nate is selling his speedy Subaru, and Kristen is ready for an all wheel drive vehicle, so the timing is good. We haven't had any calls so far, even with glossy pictures and seductive descriptions, it may be hard to sell a car in this economic environment.
I headed out Saturday night with Nate. He has another kid on the way and his job has been hectic lately, so it was good to get him out of the house. We met up with Matt a little later, and then stayed out much later than we planned to. Kristen was kind enough to come pick us up in the wee hours of the morning and gave everyone a ride home.
On Sunday, Kristen's mother Joni stopped by, and the two of them walked a big Mother's Day 9k race at the reservoir. They seemed to enjoy themselves, and it was fun for me to watch hundreds of mother-daughter groups race across the finish line.
The weather turned cold and damp for all of Sunday which stopped us from doing much outside. We did meet up with Allison and Maddock for lunch. Maddock did some wonderful coloring at the local restaurant.
