Corina’s 8th birthday party

We celebrated Corina’s eighth birthday this weekend with a small party with family.

We had a lot of fun!

We had cupcakes from Evil Empire Bakery!

Everyone loved the spring chick cupcakes
Corina got a lot of new toys to play with, including this bracelet making kit I got her.
Later, after everyone left, I made Corina take this photo outside with three blooming angel's trumpets. They bloom at night, and she also wanted to play with her glow wand.

See all the photos in the Corina’s Birthday Party 2012 photo album.

Week Sixteen

Photos from the sixteenth week in the garden are up, spanning June 27-July 6, and have been tagged “Week Sixteen” in my Gardening 2010, Part Three album in my Picasa Web Albums. To see the original bed photos — in a slideshow from week to week — visit my Gardening 2010 photo album on Facebook.

The rain brought the critters, too. I found several of these catapillars, and they ate most of the surving tomato plant Kim's uncle gave us.

Here's a shot of the original bed. A lot of the taller cosmos and zinnia have fallen, and the zinnia are now crowding out the portulaca.

This is the only Monarda ‘Bergamo’ that has made it to maturity to flower. All of the others I transplanted, as seedlings, into the bed, but they didn't make it. There were only a few that got big enough to transplant. Won't be buying this again.
