Carrot greetings

This afternoon I had a nap………… and slept with one ear open for the next 3 hours. I did *hear* the kids come home. I *heard* them going in and out the front door to check on the rabbit. I * heard* them argue over whether to eat fruit or biscuits. I definitely *heard* them turn on the frigging telly at what sounded like full blast. But I couldn’t make myself get up just yet.

Not even when I started dreaming that I was walking around naked because I was hot. Or when I dreamed that a cat was sitting on me which turned out wasn’t actually a dream.

TJ, however, doesn’t let the fact that “mum is sleeping” deter him from talking to me. And he did talk to me throughout my nap. First he announced that the mail was here as he threw it on my face. I didn’t even open my eyes as I batted it away. He gave me various updates on various things as the afternoon progressed to which he just got a snoozy grunt.

No, it wasn’t till he walked back in the front door (slamming it naturally) and announced that he had just planted out my carrots into the planters on the front patio that I was able to rouse myself from my slumbery stupor to see what on earth he had been up to. I found carrots here –

And here –

And this is the sweet potato he planted in another planter the other week –

These are the plants I was striking to put in the planters – Spider plants

And these pelargoniums –

I had visions of surrounding the front entrance of our home with pretty flowers and interesting foliage………. not carrots to greet us as we come and go.

Hubby had better damn well get my vege plot dug up to put my seedlings in this weekend before I end up with cabbages and onions on my front door step too!
