Planting the Garden, Starting May, and Reading as Much as I Can

Hello wonderful human beings, how have you been? I have been really busy.

The weather has been so nice lately that I have been spending a lot of time outside, almost to a fault. Yesterday I had a migraine and still just wanted to be outside in the garden instead of inside.

Right now is a very exciting time for the garden because everything is starting to grow. I love seeing little plants grow from seed into fully fleshed vegetables. Our garden is now fully planted, some are plants we bought already somewhat grown, and some are plants that I have grown from seed. This year I want learn how to save seeds so next year I can try to grow everything from seed.

We also have a little bunny that comes to visit

Can you believe we are already in the middle of May! It is almost Brandon's birthday, and this week I will be baking him an apple pie from scratch. I've only ever done that once and the crust wasn't as good, so hopefully this time I can nail it. Not like on the TV show though, that would be a disaster.

On other news, today I have a job interview for a position at the public library. I am nervous and excited because the job is perfect for me, and I really want it. So wish me luck and I will keep you posted on what happens.

As always, this month I also prepared my journal and planner, and the theme I chose was patterns. I really like how it is looking so far, but it is taking longer than I expected, so I am doing two weeks at a time instead of all of it at once.

This cover design took a couple of days to be completed.

Doing this pattern was relaxing but it took several hours to be completed.

Last but not least, I had to commemorate the day when I first started writing on the journal.

I haven't decided what pattern I am going to use for the next two weeks, so feel free to leave any ideas down below.

This week I am also doing a read-athon (reading marathon) and reading as much as possible everyday. So far I am on the second book, I finished "Love and Gelato" by Jenna Evans Welch on Tuesday and started "The Shinning" by Stephen King yesterday. I didn't read as much yesterday because I had a migraine, so we'll see how much I can read today once I am done with house chores.

How much can you guys read on a week? Let me know on the comments below. And with that I say goodbye, until next time don't forget to share your love with everyone around you and do something that makes you happy.
