The Great Cucurbita Experiment

I'll admit this here, but nowhere else, and certainly not out loud. It's nice to have something to obsess about that's not work or baby-related. Since the birth of my darling Jakey, I'm either working or mothering. These past couple of weeks of getting ready for the growing season is a welcome respite. And I've discovered that my son loves being outside with me, doing his own thing and discovering all sorts of new sights and sounds and textures and flavors, while I'm digging and rooting around and hauling stuff from one side of the garden to the other.

Did I mention that I wish it would quit snowing? I love snow, but this is ridiculous.
