Jeff and I went to the Farmer's Market at the Riverfront today. It was inspiring to be surrounded by fresh produce. We decided to grow a mini herb garden starting with rosemary and basil. I purchase them at least every other week at the grocery store for $3 at a time...we figured, why not just grow them at home? So that's my new pet project this summer...Tending to my herbs and refraining from over-watering. As Jeff and I got our hands grimy in planting, he kept yelling, "Don't kill the plants!" I accidentally squeezed the roots while situating them in the ground. Hopefully they'll turn out.
Another favorite summer pastime of our family is garage-saleing. Today Jeff and I scored! A church garage sale was having a Saturday special--you buy a bag for $2 and fill it with whatever you want. Jeff found a new rain jacket, work shirt, candlesticks, a rolodex, Christmas decorations, 30 thank-you cards, Spiderman winter boots for Max (hopefully they'll fit!), a game called "Pit", and bookmarks. When you're on a budget, garage sales are the way to go!
As an aside, our small group had a garage sale last Saturday and raised $115 towards the building of our new church!
