Tomatoes!
Posted in Nature, Picture on 08/23/2009 08:59 am by ifferjennIn the beginning of July, I decided we needed a trash can with a lid. I went to the local hardware store by Ethan’s school, and along with the trash can, they were getting rid of their stock of sickly plants. I picked up this cherry tomato plant, since it looked to be the least sickly, and actually had some tomatoes on it. Now I’m doing backflips over it, since I’m actually going to be able to eat these!
This is less a “Look at my pretty picture” picture, and more of a “Look!! I’m growing food!!” picture. We’d like to expand our garden next year, so if you have any suggestions for small-garden foods, I’d greatly appreciate it.
Good Ratio
Posted in Ethan, Nature, Picture, Portraits on 08/18/2009 05:21 pm by ifferjennWhen we went out to the Futures at Fenway, there were five adults to keep track of Ethan. The next day, we had four adults to keep track of Ethan as we went hiking to Purgatory Chasm. Those ratios seem just about right for a five-year-old.

Stairway

No touching up on this one. I realize it’s a little blurry, as it was a slightly longer exposure and I don’t walk around with a tripod, but check out the sky!

Posted in Ethan, Picture on 08/09/2009 08:00 am by ifferjennYesterday, we went to Fenway Park to see the Portland Sea Dogs and Pawtucket Red Sox play in the Futures at Fenway game. They didn’t play each other…who would you root for?…but this marked the first time I’d been inside Fenway. We left before the second game finished, but it was a fantastic day out!
