Garden Triumph

Yay! I got manure! Now I realize you have to be a gardener to appreciate this but I found local horse manure for my garden. Another Sarah was very nice and met me at the corral right away so I could fill my tubs with manure. I've been worried about my garden this summer because it has relatively poor soil but this should totally take care of it. My tomatoes will be ecstatic. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures for you because it was raining and getting dark. But you will get to see lovely garden pictures later.

In other garden news, Brent, Kori, and I visited the White House Garden today for their spring tour. I do have pictures of that but you will have to wait until my computer gets fixed so I can upload them. It was a perfect morning and we had a good time. You don't realize how big the grounds are from outside. Not a whole lot of flowers, mostly trees and grass, but very nice nonetheless. The Portland Rose Garden has way more roses than the White House one though!

Then we sat on Kori's rooftop deck and ate cinnamon rolls that I made last week. (they were in the freezer so nice and fresh) A nice day all around although I was incautious and got a sunburn on my shoulders. I'm typing this from my new iPad. I wanted one anyway but the month long breakdown of my laptop turned out to be a significant push to find another way to check my email. So any tablet tips from my iPad-using family members out there?

Bother, I can't add formatting so you get it all run together. Sorry about that.
