Wednesdays are quickly becoming my favorite day of the week. It's a day for just Everett and me to piddle around the house working on projects. Monday and Tuesday I work at my internship, which I enjoy immensely. I have learned so much in a short amount of time and the experience has confirmed my decision on pursuing my advanced degree in Speech-Language Pathology. It feels rewarding to work with our caseload of children improving their communication skills. Mondays and Thursdays are typically when I have on-line class.
Thus, Wednesdays are a day with no obligations and I can regroup, catch up, and not have to look at the clock. The babes and me spend a lot of time in our backyard (picture above) on a large quilt playing with toys and reading stories. The locally-owned garden shop, Apenberry's, is also a frequent Wednesday outing for us.
The past couple weeks I have started growing flowers from seeds. I have never done this before and always just bought a couple 20-packs of flowers from the garden store to plant in our landscape. However, our new house has a lot more land to scape so I figure by growing my flowers from seeds I will save a few hundred dollars when all is said and done. I even went super cheap with the Wal-Mart brand, Jiffy, and not the line carried at Lowes and Target, Burbee. Plus, it's kind of fun to see the progress! I feel like a 7th-grade science fair kid.

Bring the plants in at night. This is after cutting back all plants except the strongest one.
And here's my little helper...
