If you have read my post before or if you know me, you know that I am a gardener. I had small gardens as a child and the last 15 years I have always had some type of garden. This year I feel behind on my garden (I have gotten spoiled by the long warm season we get in Texas). Between the weather and I am in the middle of replacing over half my garden beds. I feel that I should so much more in the ground, and some of that should happen this week. I have a lot of starts in the house just waiting for me to put dirt in the new beds. I am also working on an herb garden at the Farmers Market and I will be adding more plants too this week. I will also start working on putting in showcase garden at the Farmers Market for some of things growing at the farm that I became Farm Manager of this week.

There are only 17 day left in the school. It's hard to believe that we are almost at the end of an other school year, and with this there are a lot of things happening at the school were I volunteer. We just had the spring book fair, were I got to pick out books for all the kids in school. (There is church that meets in the school building on Sundays that buys the books for the kids.) The kid get their books when all their library books are turned in for the year. This is also the time of year when you get to see just how many books are in the library. I will be able to see how I need to reorganize the spinner rack, were we keep the more popular series. For example I am not sure if I have the right of room for the "Dairy of a wimpy kid" series right now. All the copies are normally checked out and when they are checked in it is never for very long. It's not uncommon for them to never make it to the spinner rack they are check out again so quickly. With the end
