Back from Chicago
It was wonderful visiting Chicago but even better to make it home today and nap and walk the dog. So much fun but little rest, and we were worried about potential storms in Dallas. Here's at few pics walking around the park in The Colony.

Travels and walks
Took cooper for a walk since I need to get healthier. Walking helps, right?
Went to Napa last weekend for live in the Vineyard. Won show tickets through an art contest. Saw lots of things including driving around the area to the ocean to drive the pch and draw at the beach! Stopped outside my favorite studios for pics too.

What a difference a day makes!
Tuesday night my tomato seedlings looked like this: 
Tomatoes on Thursday evening:
Sage is also coming along well and the peppers are looking like they're gonna pop out soon too!

Things Cooper Ate
Today he destroyed a paper bag, ate the ribbon off a toy that wasn't his, and most upsetting destroyed a slipper of mine brought back from Poland. Bumme about that one since they're not replaceable without visiting Zakopane.
Not my lambs wool slipper!!

Springtime planting
There's a bit of joy in watching peat pellets expand and grow in even little rows!
Summer in Texas will soon be burning the grass dry- but before that happens I plan on getting some veggies out of that ground. I started composting last August when we got here, and I'm planning on trying growing things here this spring - swiftly approaching. This unusually cold spring has delayed planting season in North Texas, so that is luck for me. But the other obstacle is that I'm unfamiliar with the varieties of plants and how much I need to water them down here. That's gonna take a bit of learning.
I'm starting off with some Italian San Marzano tomatoes, Anaheim chili peppers and sage. I love the smell of sage and it makes clean incense. Tomatoes and peppers come handy for cooking, and in the case of the peppers, can look pretty when you dry them.

Once my garden bed is set up I'll try for peas, carrots, kale, and mixed greens. For now these little greenhouses is where I'm beginning.

No, not the shoes!!! Things cooper ate
We took cooper on a hike by the lake this morning before going to the movies. Apparently this didn't make him tired and he chewed through two of my shoes. One was a favorite pair of sneakers that got me through a 10 mike race. The other was my favorite pair of flat dress shoes. :/ not sure why he gets so frustrated while we're gone!

Things Cooper are
First this happened last week. It got me pretty upset since I got this at one of the cubs games I went to. Sigh.
Today I came home to a mess. Cooper is ok but in addition to another remote control (he destroyed a mini one on Monday) he went after a larger remote. And these things which he destroyed:
(This was a lighter, empty thankfully)
