I think we shall name her Queen. Because when I see it I hear "Under Pressure" by Queen. Yes, I'm a dork and I name all things. It bugs the heck out of Tim.
here she is...I don't think I put her together properly. Yikes!
I unpacked it and started flipping through the instruction book and now I'm a bit scared too. It's a little intimidating. I'm going to have to really read the book and not just thumb through it. I think Tim changed his mind about the pressure cooker after we spent an entire day working with a ton of tomatoes only to lose them all. That was a bummer. Not this year.
We've been discussing our garden this year. We know that we want tomatoes, potatoes, zucchinis, cucumbers and beets. Oh, and I'm sure we'll have boxes of chili peppers all over the place too. I am thinking that next month we'll be bringing up the grow lights and starting our seeds.
Oh, there is nothing like thinking about gardening in the middle of the winter. This has been a long, cold, icy winter. I look out into the back yard and long to be out there with the sun beating down on me and working in the dirt. I can't wait. I think the starting of seeds and taking care of them as they grow will help the winter hurry on out of here. I'm kicking myself though for not planting any bulbs in the fall. I was so busy that I completely forgot about it and now I'm going to be sad when everyone else has amazing spring flowers coming up and I'll have nothing. I will plant bulbs next fall.
Not too much else going on over here. We are half way through the school year. The boys are doing fabulous. Connor has discovered that he LOVES geometry. We've had a lot of fun learning that and playing around with it. Aidan is writing almost as neatly as I do and is reading small books to himself now. We got everything done in January that we wanted to do. We got both of our credit cards PAID OFF. We are sitting pretty right now planning for summer festivities and gardening.
I hope everyone is staying warm and happy.

i would prefer to refer to it as under pressure by david bowie. and robert matthew van winkle, it IS a semi-tone higher.
How fun! I love that you named it. And it is very intimidating the first few times. I'm still intimidated! I just try to follow all the directions to the letter and then a little faith is involved... :)
