Tonight has been crazy! There's never enough time pre-road trip. I'm heading up to DC for Con.Txt tomorrow and it will be AMAZING. I saw Team DC at the Avengers premier & fun. show the first weekend of May but it feels like much longer. This is why teleportation would be the best mutant power.

I mentioned a few posts ago that I have a vegetable garden this year. We have a tiny patch of sunny yard next to a very sunny but small patio and I'm taking advantage. I manage to get out there even when I'm having bad days so it's been A++ for my mental health. Sunshine makes me happier and I know it makes me happier but, historically, that hasn't been enough to get me outside. The garden is!

I had lettuce and onions this spring and right now my tomato and pepper (jalapeño and bell) plants are starting to produce. My carrots are mostly grown and I've already pulled a few. I planted pole beans a few weeks ago and they're about 8 inches tall, and the pumpkin seeds I planted last week have sprouted. I have a pretty long list for the rest of the year--radishes, rutabagas, spinach, bok choy, collards, broccoli, brussels sprouts, peas, kale, cucumbers, squash, and more carrots, onions, and lettuce. Hopefully I can get at least half of that in the ground! I'm planning to preserve as much as I can through freezing and canning.

I was going to make blueberry muffins tonight but I've run out of time. I'm just going to eat the blueberries tomorrow on my drive instead; they should make awesome snack food. And no crumbs!

(I get to see alpheratz tomorrow! And then a con! *flails*)
