Goodness, what a week!  I'm usually not a huge fan of Mondays, but today I am very glad that it is the start of a new week.  Last week, I started feeling pretty crummy on Sunday evening.  All week I was fighting a nasty cold that finally got me down Friday afternoon.  I wound up sleeping a ridiculous amount Friday afternoon/evening/night and Saturday morning, and feeling much better when I finally woke up.

I felt so good that Saturday afternoon I went out to the garden and planted onions, cucumber, and one variety of sweet corn.  I also poked around in the dirt a bit and discovered that my watermelon is coming up!  At church on Sunday, a friend gave me 4 tomato plants that they had started from seed, so I planted those tonight.  

I went to check on the maybe-Hostas, maybe-Lily of the Valley plant that's behind the house, and it is definitely Lily of the Valley!  I couldn't resist picking a few sprigs (stalks?) and putting them in a small vase in my kitchen window.  We've got that window open this evening, and the breeze is blowing the amazing scent through the house.  I LOVE spring!
