The sun is shining through my window. I’ve got a few things done around the house, but I have some big things in front of me. Big, demanding, how in the world are we going to get all of this done type of things. I’m not the first to have these obstacles (sometimes it feels that way) and I know I won’t be the last to have them. I think that moments like these leave me in awe of those who have come before me. What stood to hinder their progress was so much more formidable. Sometimes I feel that my generation has so much in the way of opportunities that maybe we have too much.

On the garden front, I’m looking at basil, lettuce, cilantro and possible heirloom tomatoes. I love fresh basil and cilantro. I may grow some other herbs, but I thought I’d start with my favorites.
