Spring Springing

Oh, hello there! Did you think I forgot about you?

Lots going on in life lately, but that’s no excuse – it means I should have more to say!

My role at work has changed dramatically – not only am I working for a new client (one of the top 15 most cash-rich companies in the world, phew!), but my roles and responsibilities have taken quite a turn as well. BUS-Y. I’m happy to report that I’ll be able to work from home more, though, so we’re taking steps to formalize my office space a bit. We even connected a land-line phone!

Our weekends have brought us off on some more ski trips – we always tend to cram them in when the sun comes out! We were up in North Conway, NH, this past weekend with a group of Gary’s colleagues. Due to conditions, we skied Black Mountain, which is a smaller, south-facing mountain that seems like it has a ton of great promise and terrain during the more snow-covered season! We really look forward to getting back there. North Conway’s outlets were all having end-of-winter sales, so that was exciting as well.

Our new goal might be to cover the Yakima rocket-box with stickers from second-rate ski mountains… totally awesome. Black will start, Bromley soon to follow, we’re huge fans of Magic and I probably still have tons of paraphernalia from Bolton Valley. Who wants to tour with us in 2010?

Gary is off to hike and ski Tuckerman’s Ravine this coming weekend – very exciting for him on this annual boys ritual (I’ve done it too, so shout-out to the ladies!, but this one’s more for the crotch-scratching, off-gassing, pee-higher kind of boy crowd).

We’re also welcoming a few babies into the world! Our friend Amy gave birth to Lily this weekend, Michelle had baby Colin, we had the pleasure of meeting Ellenor & Mike’s daughter Anna, we look forward to meeting Mike & Peg’s first-born Theo next month, and we hope to soon greet Chrissy & Adam’s little boy, Gavin. You guys have been verrrry busy!

No. Don’t even think about it.

Aside from all that, it’s SPRING. We’ve been running more, stepping up the bike training, cleaning up the yard and I’m ready to plant all of my vegetable seeds from SeedTrust.com! Move over, Michelle Obama!

I hope you’re all enjoying the bright sunrays and new beginnings!

jess - i stole your seed company -- just ordered some today. have you used them before? i knew i wanted to go with a small, knowledgeable company and it was easier to copy you than do the research myself this time. :-) i'm going to try really hard to have a good garden this year - in the past they've been started to late and or half-assed. of course i also have half a CSA if it falls through...March 26, 2009 - 6:48 pm

stacey - Hi Jess! That's completely cool with me! I did some additional research but mostly borrowed the idea from Barbara Kingsolver in her book "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle." I'm going to start researching supplies, dirt, etc. this weekend - and I'm going to finally plant my seeds (indoors). Let's learn together :-)March 26, 2009 - 6:55 pm

jess - do you have lights for the indoor starters? my dad starts a ton of plants so i always get some of his. and if you need any fertilizer, i know 11 chickens that make a LOT of manure. ;-)March 26, 2009 - 7:03 pm

stacey - I'm planning to wing it on sunlight alone this year... bad idea? Thanks for the fertilizer! I hear seaweed from Red River Beach is also primo.March 26, 2009 - 7:07 pm
