Ahoy - it's a cauliflower

I might have mentioned that I have been growing two cauliflower and two broccoli plants in my raised garden.  Fred Olver, our neighbor, gave them to me because he only wanted four plants and he had to buy them in packs of six. So, I accepted them and planted them and watched them grow but I didn't think they were producing anything but large leaves. Well, having never grown cauliflower before, I didn't know that the inner leaves cradle and cover the head so this past week, I was just about to pull them up when I peeked closer and lookie what I found!  A cauliflower head ready to be picked and another one that will be ready next week.  The broccoli is not doing so hot - I see one teeny tiny head the size of an hors d'oeuvres.  Hmmmmm

How has my first full week of freedom been? Marvelous!!!  I feel more relaxed. I have started doing 10-15 minute yoga via YouTube each morning. I have slept better. And, I have had fun getting things done: yard, planting the rest of the vegetable garden, sewing, family history. I watched the 3rd Guardians of the Galaxy on my own.  Even though it was sad, I loved how the characters were fleshed out in this film and it was fun to see Nathan Fillion's cameo role. Steve and I watched Titan AE (on loan from Elise). Steve started Forever Strong (another Elise loan) and I finished watching it with him. Both good movies. We watched a Picard episode on Friday and last night, we watched Mr Peabody and Sherman that I checked out from the library and it was so fun to watch and reminisce about the original cartoon episodes we watched as kids.   

I ended up NOT teaching driving on Monday morning (whew) but helped ladies sew pillows instead. The Thursday evening English classes had to be cancelled due to extensive repair work to the tall accordion doors in the cultural hall. It was nice to have the night off.  Steve and I got to the temple Friday afternoon and we worked in the baptistry Saturday morning. I gave piano lessons to Quinn and Larkin afterwards - it had been two months since their last lesson!  AND we wished happy birthday to both Steven on Friday and Julina on Saturday. 

It has been a great week!
