Yes, I'm still alive...

Well, maybe I'll start "blogging" again. I've been having some issues as I downloaded a newer version of Photoshop on my computer... and my 6 year old computer barely meets the minimum it takes to run it, so editing photos so it's easier for you to see them on the Internet takes longer than it used to! Maybe if I start being good extra early this year, Santa will put me on his extra-good list and I will get a computer for Christmas. It would be a toss up between that or a water softener.

Anyway, here is a link to some photos we posted of our trip to St. Louis... And if anyone wants an absolutely phenomenal steak, Carmines is definitely worth every penny you pay (and it's a lot of pennies...). http://www.facebook.com/reqs.php#/album.php?aid=105922&id=612684912

We've been having birds at our bird feeder. Just in the past week we saw a set of Cardinals (male and female), Blue Jay, Blue Bird, Red/House Finch?, a couple woodpeckers, Titmouse, and of course the common ones (Robin, Starlings, Pigeons, sparrows).

My garden still only has peas and potatoes, but they are huge and I noticed today the potatoes are already blossoming. They seem to be loving all the rain we have been getting. I have purchased some tomatoes and peppers and a couple other things and need to get them planted some time soon!
