It is Spring!

I planted onion seeds on our anniversary in late February.  I'm so romantic. 

Never knew that onions unfolded and the seed ends up in the air...

They are now about 3 inches tall.  My plan is to grow them and transplant into the new raised beds I am creating this year.  They probably will get leggy, but I'll plant some seeds also to get a staggered harvest and see how they grow.   
I also built a little green house out of "culled" (love that term) scraps from the Home Despot, leftover plastic window insulation and some plumbing pieces. 

It's a bit wonky, but don't hate on creativity!

Chamomile has also chosen to make an appearance.  I'm going to plant as much as I can in my garden, as last year I didn't and only was able to harvest about 1/2 c. of the flowers.  You can't make much tea or hair rinse out of that!
Tiny little buggers. 
 
My dear hubby has also gotten on the band-wagon and collected some random 2x4s from work that I will be making into some raised garden beds in our yard.  This next weekend will be splendid, so hopefully we can get them cut and put together.  I'll post about that later.

Pelmet Tutorial

Finally here it is!  These are super easy, quite quick and don't cost much at all.  Things you'll need: Foam board (use your Micheal's coupons!) Cotton batting-I bought the crib-size and still have leftovers Fabric Glue gun and glue sticks-I used 2 long ones Duct tape Picture hangers or small brackets of your choice Step 1: Measure your window width and cut or tape more than one piece of foam board together to fit the space if needed.  I made sure it was at least 1" beyond each side of the wood moulding.  Remember you'll add thickness and need to attach brackets.  Mine were 64" long, 9" tall and the sides were 2" wide, your proportions may be different depending on the window size and style.  Duck tape holds it all together nicely.  I did add wooden chopsticks to the middle where I taped two long pieces together so it didn't bend.  You won't have to do this if your window is smaller....

Nice Legs...

I've been meaning to write triumphantly about Inset sites I've been randomly trying.  Yesterday, I used the front of my thigh, which I have done two times in the past and am quite liking it still.  I actually never used my legs when doing injections before.  They just seemed to hurt too much.  No pain here, besides the tugging from almost getting pulled out by my pants (the jeans did succeed once) or undies, but nothing a Hello Kitty bandaide can't help out and support!   Don't be scared by the white, MN skin; it hasn't seen sunshine yet this year ;)  ---Aside: my dad has given my sisters and I boxes of Hello Kitty Bandaids for years in our Christmas bags.  We generally only use them when they are visible to others, since they're cute.  Anyone seen or heard of extremely weird pump sites being used or rigging of the Inset/site to keep it attached in rough terrain?
