Worms!!!!

So today was another busy day!! We went to get new licenses and find out what we need to do to get the cars registered, etc. Can I just say we were only at the DMV for like 20 minutes!! It was a true miracle! Then Anthony and I drove downtown as I have a job interview tomorrow downtown and I wanted to make sure I knew where I was going. It was easy to find, so tomorrow should be a breeze. (fingers crossed!) On our way home we discovered 'The Heights,' its our community center. It has a gym, pool and a library all in the same building. AMAZING!!! Needless to say, Anthony can cook me whatever he wants as I will be swimming it off in no time! However, I did realize that I have not been in a pool for over 5 years. YIKES, hope I don't drown!

We did survive another 'Meatless Monday,' yesterday. We did cheat, however, and go to a pizza place. Now this is not just any pizza place it is totally organic, and all their ingreidents are bought locally. I discovered this place on a website I got from the Natural Living Expo. Can I just say the pizza was DE-LISH!! So in my effort to save money by eating meat one less night a week I spoiled it by going out to dinner! Oops.

While at Lowes the other day, I found a sprouting tray for only 10 dollars, sprouts included. I figured I would try it and if it worked well, I would have an easy to use sprouting tray and if not well then I guess I would still have a sprouting tray. Below is a picture of my tray and Day 1 of my seeds! I will post pictures each day to show you how I am doing.



Next our my seed trays. I started peas, salad greens, parsley, pumpkins and broccoli. This is my third attempt at broccoli...if it does not work this time, I am giving up! I will post pictures of my sprouts as they come up.

BUT the biggest discovery of today was EARTHWORMS!! Anthony (bless his heart) and I cleaned out one of my garden beds and there were so many earthworms. Oh my goodness, I have never been so excited about dirt! The one bad thing we discovered about atleast this garden bed is that it was full of gravel. I am hoping that with some tilling and some more compost and dirt that the gravel will be less. I am going to rake some of it out as well, BUT, oh my gosh the earthworms, big ones, long ones, vigorus ones, it was truly amazing!! Everything I have read says that if you have lots of worms you have good dirt, so fingers crossed!! Pictures to come...

I think this is it for today, I am off to watch American Idol. Goodnight!
