Our tree is blossoming now like crazy! Beautiful bells opening daily on the one, the other one (which actually bloomed last year - this one never had!) is starting to get the buds so hoping to see them blossoming soon too! Seeing that last year the other one never bloomed until it was already in our basement for the winter when it decided to finally bloom, we are happy they are both awakening to when they are supposed to bloom!
Our tomatoes have become like weeds! They are growing out of control! We have so many tomatoes growing we don't know what to do with them all! We have tried to keep tying them up as they have grown but when pulled all the way up the plant is taller than we are! This is all just watering and living in straw bales! We are going to turn Italian this weekend and make some homemade tomato sauce so hoping that will be yummy and surely an adventure since neither of us have ever made it.
We went to our Foster care cluster group tonight. Again we had a great informative time. We love the company there and the first hand experiences we hear are so helpful. We gain so much insight from the group it is almost unreal. We also are lucky our home study social worker and as well as resource manager are in attendance each month too! The other people in the cluster neither know personally either worker or work with them so it is comforting to be able to get answers and have a background relationship with the two woman running the cluster group monthly. We also got to meet one of our supervisors today who knows us well from going over our home study but can now put our faces to our names. Odd when someone knows so much about you while you have never met or even seen them before! We had a great session, ate some pizza, chatted, and even had half the room in tears over one families current grieving. These individuals are so open and authentic and give us a realistic glimpse into what we signed up for. Brian was holding one of the families foster babies and was even spit up on....we all agreed he is now fully initiated into the group! We were told it likely won't be long until we get a call and many were placing bets on when that first call will come!
