Elias and I spent the morning planting perennials in our flower bed and picking peas and tomatoes. I should say Elias was picking tomatoes and eating peas right off the vine. No picking involved, just grab and bite. He loves tomatoes, which is a good thing considering we have 30 tomato plants that are overflowing with tomatoey goodness. I love gardens.

The big change for me this week (it's been awhile hasn't it?) is to save the water from my shower and water my plants with it. I cannot get in the shower until it has warmed up. I know it's not very environmental of me, but I don't like getting blasted with cold water first thing in the morning. To offset that wastefulness I will save the water for better uses.
