nor am i suprised that the lilac trees are bowing under the weight of their current blooms

although i know this is not necessarily great for the tree itself; i'm currently researching how i'm supposed to deal with this sitch.


what i AM suprised/elated to the point of dancing about the house over is:






ALL THE SEEDS I PLANTED ARE SPROUTING!!!
i should mention that i think the heating pad is really helping the vegetables along, since it's been incredibly damp the past week. i did have some concerns about being late in getting the seeds going, and the growing season, and whatnot. i've double-checked with the farmer's almenac, and as long as these guys are in the ground by the endish of the month, the plants should be ok. i am soooooooooooo stoked!!!
