So, it's been raining a little bit. What? Yes, just a little...every day for the last month. And by little I mean morning, noon and night. But, as one who has had trouble keeping the hanging basket flowers alive in the past, I am not one to complain. The garden has taken off, and I am pleased to report that I ate two delicious cherry tomatoes today. Addison is continually amazed at the size of zucchinis that we are pulling from the garden. When we pulled our first, she lovingly rocked it like a baby and whispered, "Isn't it so cute?"
Well, cute might not be the word. And even if zucchini could be classified as cute, they lose their charm when they start taking over every inch of space on your kitchen counters as they curiously multiply every hour. We never seem to learn our lesson with this plant.
I've been really happy with our grapevine this year. It's full and lush and underneath it has tons of grapes, that for the record, are super sour and NOT ready to be picked and eaten yet.
All of this rain has been keeping us inside a lot, so Addison and I decided to get crafty today. She was the base-coat painter for all of the projects, and managed to give herself quite a base coat before we were all done.

| These Fourth of July firecrackers aren't quite done. Still need Mike to drill a hole in the top so I can put some twisted metal to finish off. |

| I was pretty happy with how my wood sign came out, although I couldn't find a font that I loved. |
The last project that we worked on was fixing up our kitchen table centerpiece box. The mason jars stay put all year long, but the decorations around them change. I made these crackled painted stars for my sister in law for Christmas, and had been wanting to make some more for myself.
Hoping the rain lets up at some point, so that we can hit the beach soon!
