Leaving for a week is not something that occurs often for me. In fact, I have not been away that long in 3 years. Soon after I got home, I began to notice a few things that changed. Some for the better, others not.
For instance, this plant. Not better, but rather barely hanging on to life. (Same goes for my cilantro and basil)
Also not for the better, Andrew’s new eating habits.
I also heard stories of hot dogs and marshmallows by fire. Andrew is not great at keeping secrets. He also explained to me that “I not takin’ a shower anymore” and repeatedly asked “where are my girls at, Mom?” while looking out the window for the neighbors. I chose to ignore those comments and instead focused my attention on his nutrition.
Once order was restored and the layer of grass, dirt, and food was cleaned from the countertops and floors, I was able to appreciate the work that did happen while I was away.
Still not sure how this was pulled off, but I’m looking forward to doing some planting! We had about an hour together before Pete left for the airport. Andrew dealt with the transitions flawlessly, I dealt with it by consuming chocolate and ice cream. Oh well, so it goes…tomorrow, Andrew and I are going to do one last weed pulling session in the garden and then hopefully planting vegetables!
