Another adventure out of the basement - yay!  It’s that time of year in the Chamming garden… yup… planting time.

First comes the planning process that I love best.  I carefully draw a not-to-scale “map” of the garden on the back for scrap paper.  It’s usually entitled “My Vegetable Garden”.  Chris laughs that it reminds him of Microsoft’s “My” products, like “My Computer” and “My Favourites”.  Anyway, this year on the hit list are zucchinis, tomatoes, carrots, cucumbers beets, beans, peas, lettuce, herbs, onions and sunflowers.

My 5 year old daughter is endlessly planning her birthday parties, even 11 months and 30 days in advance.  Her recent planning session focused on who she should invite.  After going over her list of friends she paused and then asked us “can I invite Santa Clause to my birthday?”
