  Not entirely sure what this is called. It's a Peruvian inspired meal that DH had during a trip to Portland. It's sirloin with a chimmichurri sauce. Super delicious!

  Finished a blanket last night. My in laws gave me three multicolored blue skeins of yarn so I went and got two more to make this blanket. After I brought it home I realized it was two different blues. Oops! But I went with it. Sierra is modeling how comfy the blanket is.

  so with the help of my FiL (master gardener), i have finally finished my garden.  he has a greenhouse in his backyard and starts the seeds until the plants are 3-4 inches tall.  so he gave me 5 different types of tomatoes, zucchini, squash, a bunch of peppers and i added some herbs.  
  Even though he did the main part of starting the seeds, this was a tough job!  had to dig out all the grass and moss (it's about 150sqft) and then DH helped me put up the fence.  
  i just need to add some chicken wire to keep the chipmunks out, but otherwise done and so insanely proud of myself!!
