I got two herbs, two salad greens, and a container of baby leeks into the ground before the sun slipped low enough I decided to call it quits.<\/p>\n<p>The evening was spent watching the UConn women with Rudi, reading, knitting the toe decreases on my sock (I just have to kitchener the second sock and weave in the ends tomorrow!), painting my nails, drinking cocoa, and doing a little rearranging.<\/p>\n<p>How was your weekend?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I spent a good amount of time outdoors this glorious first weekend of spring.
