Gardening


I admit to having a ton of hobbies. I enjoy many different things. I don't do any of them particularly well, but the end product is not the point. I have been reading up on gardening and listening to pod casts and the radio for tips. Four weeks ago I planted seeds and they are looking quite nice. Now I am working on putting together my garden. I can't wait for fresh produce.

However, last fall I planted some bulbs looking forward to some color for the spring. This spring has been for not. Just the other day I was admiring my almost empty garden and came upon my first flower. It is okay though, because today when I got home I had a few more flowers blooming in my little garden.

SVM Open House

The veterinary schools open house was this past weekend. Besides for the rain it was a huge success. Many people attended and enjoyed the tours as well as the children interactive center. Topped off with Babcock ice cream how could you go wrong?

Easter Sunday

We spent the weekend with the families for Easter this year. A fun Saturday cookout with D&J and Sunday dinner with P&S and my family. Topped it off with a Easter egg hunt for the kids. What a fun weekend with the family.


Brewer Home Opener

P bought a bunch of Brewer tickets this year. The home opener was this past Friday and I got to go with him. The weather was beautiful for a Wisconsin spring day. We had such a great day together. I took tons of pictures.

Beer Tasting

Yesterday P and I went to T&R with B&L to have a beer tasting. This is just an excuse for us to get together and taste some new brews. We each bring a beer or two to share. There are always some great brews and some flops. It is always fun to be with friends. At one point T brought out his Larry Bird jacket from his childhood (what a great jacket T). Thanks guys for hosting the 2nd taste.

Dirty Dog, Happy Dog, Tired Dog

Today was a beautiful spring day in Wisconsin. I was out of work on time and had the opportunity to take Kilo to Stewart Park. We had a great afternoon of hiking on the trails in the nice weather. The trails were mostly dry, but some parts were very muddy. Kilo and I had muddy paws and shoes. It was worth it! Kilo has been home for an hour and not moved yet.

Back in Action

It has been a while since my last post. There have been many complaints that I haven't followed through with the blog. There are many things for me to post about and I will try to catch up in the next few weeks. Today is the first day that I myself have had a chance to breath. I am spending my afternoon taking and editing pictures. One of the activities that I have missed the most. I encourage you to follow my Flickr page as the photos are now updated. My currant favorite picture is below.
