Alex has been enjoying his new hobby: gardening. It's his escape. If he is not around, he is most likely outside "working" in the garden. :) Really, how much work can you do on the garden? Just water it right?
We bought a couple of trees and other plants - an avocado and tangerine tree, a banana pepper plant, and blueberry plant. I think it takes a while for them to produce. Meanwhile, the zucchini and squash are growing like crazy. We soon will be getting tomatoes. We hope to get beans, peppers, watermelon, and cantaloupe too. But the gopher has eaten most of the watermelon, and the peppers don't seem to be growing.
Alex has also been hard at work with the apricots. He dried some of them - I ate so many one day that my stomach hurt. I helped him make some jam as well. So yummy. But it has tons of sugar in it, so of course it's going to be good.
Alex also has been working hard on the job. He got a long-awaited promotion. I don't talk much about his job on the blog, since it doesn't keep things low profile on here. But he did achieve a big accomplishment at work. We didn't celebrate big, but had a yummy fast-food lunch, along with milk and cookies. (It was a treat... we don't eat out much.) Maybe we'll celebrate right one of these days.
And he is busy being a good husband and father. Thanks for all the work you do Alex!
He didn't get much for Father's Day - just a couple of good home-cooked meals.
