Sprout Update

The seeds really are growing, I just haven't taken pictures like I did last year. They look like they are not growing uniformly (and they arent in some cases), but mostly its just because there are so many varieties in the flats. The carrots, onion, green beans and peas are refusing to grow but they will eventually. The peppers and tomatoes have taken off.
This is my lonely carrot sprout trying to come up. I'm starting rows of onion and carrot seeds 2 weeks apart to try to extend my growing season. I have a few left to plant. Just thought I'd show you how they're doing! We have several weeks before we can plant. Tomorrow is the first day of spring and 10-14 inches of snow with blizzard conditions are expected. So I'll just enjoy the indoor garden as long as it has to be indoors this year! (Maybe not AS LONG AS but for a while...)

A Room For The Dogs

We don't do anything "small" at our house. Since we redid the living room, we have decided that the dogs need a place to live most of the time outside. The problem is, there is no warm, dry place for them to live outside and you can't just go buy a doghouse that will fit an Atlas sized dog. So Brandon and Ryan built one. Or they are building one. This is the biggest (and probably nicest) dog house I've ever seen! It is 8'x4' and as tall as brandon (1" shorter if he is standing straight up). It has shingles on the roof and an elevated floor. It will have carpet and air vents. This thing is amazing! It will be barn red when they're done. Hopefully they'll have it done tonight. The one and only problem is moving it. We have no clue how they're going to get it in the backyard. (it is supposed to go on the deck) There has been talk of removing one section of fence and the list of movers they are going to enlist seems to be growing. Once it is done and in place it should be very nice. Then we'll have to break the news to the dogs. I think they'll be impressed. I dont know. They're awfully picky!
