Just another day in the life.

Another beautiful day in Omaha...hot, humid, and it rained in the afternoon (so I didn't have to water, WOOT!). I worked all afternoon, came home and my house smelled like a peony bomb. Love it. Walked the pooch through the hood, had a beer with my dear neighbor Megan, and came home to relax. The pic is my fave shot of the week. It encompasses the perfect Wednesday night, Glee on Hulu (seriously, holy crap, the Gaga episode was awesome, I laughed, I cried!!), an incredible card (made into wall art; it reads...She went out on a limb, had it break off behind her, and discovered she could fly. (thanks, mom)), and the most perfect coral rose from the rose bush that refuses to die (for real, three people on three different occasions helped me "rid" myself of my cursed rose bushes, my neighbor Dick, who hacked them out with an ax, my mom, who helped me pull them out by the roots, and my dad who dug some out and poured round-up on the others (in my defense, they didn't bloom, they just stabbed me when I weeded, which is why they had to die)). But, alas and now thankfully, the rose bush lives...and I have a perfect specimen (and a thorn stab) to prove it.

I am headed to Arizona for a week with my siblings, hoping to see some good desert plants while I am there. Thank you for reading the Leap blog, please let me know what you think!!

P.S. I took before pics of the veggie garden for the next post, which probably won't be until next week (foreshadowing anyone??). The tomatoes grew a solid inch in the last two days. OOOOO, I love humidity and gardening. What a great combo. Kinda like red wine and...well, anything (see Matt, wine is always involved).
