I decided to have a birthday party at our place since Meadow can't go out and we have friends with kids. For some reason I thought making pizza for a bunch of friends was a great idea.  After making one successful batch of dough the recently repaired Kitchenaid mixer went kaput again. I had to knead the rest by hand.  While Scott worked on the pizza dough I started baking the birthday boys cake. This year he requested chocolate cake with berry filling. Because...why not? Meadow requested a mesh thingy with banana to hold her over while we baked.  Somewhere in here our hand mixer also broke, so I went out and bought a new one.  I was worried I had over-baked it, but Scott assured me it would be fine.   On Scott's actual birthday he requested crepes for breakfast.   I am no match to Scott's crepe making skills. Mine were more like tortillas. They were basically exactly like mine ...

He had to scarf it down before heading to work. I'm not going to complain that Scott had to work on a Sunday again. Yea it sucks, but I need to be more thankful that he has a job. It may not be the best he's had or the worst and the pay isn't phenomenal, but life isn't always fair. Instead of dwelling on the things I don't like I need to be more happy about the things in life that are great.  After he left I spent time on-and-off working on this puzzle. It's a lot easier to see the many colors when the suns out. I think I found about 3 more pieces.  Then I ordered more seeds online . Last year we figured we had enough, but then we realized we really want to grow kale and chard and popcorn. I know it's a little early to be getting excited abo...
