things we did over spring break ...

Zach cleaned off the patio, which gave us the space we needed to start a small herb garden ...

sage and tarragon with a jalapeno pepper plant in the middle

parsley, mint, basil, and thyme

then this happened:

like we thought it would ... and that's why we're also growing the cat his own bunches of yum (hopefully he'll stay off of ours).

sprouting catnip, cat grass, and cat oat grass

We also got Zach his early birthday gift ... 

that totally turned out to be a bigger gift for me!

grilled salmon with a side of roasted zucchini and wild rice

grilled steak, lemon pepper shrimp, and portobello mushrooms

grilled Jamaican jerk chicken wings, mixed vegetables and salad with lime dressing

We took a hike in Happy Hollow Park ... something we haven't done since the anaphylaxis episode.

Now both spring break and winter are officially over.

Hope you had a great weekend!
