My last post started with this view from my window of the garden and I thought it captured the growth really well.  Don't worry I am not going to spend the rest of the summer taking the same picture and posting it here over and over again.  I did however want to provide this update before my brother and I begin what he has named KLVN (pronounced Kelvin) otherwise known as Keely's Leave Vegas Now.  He will graduate from the class he has been taking there for the last 6 months next weekend.  That will be followed directly by our epic journey across the country back to our respective homes with several stops along the way to visit friends and family.  I will update as much as possible hopefully with lots of pictures for a little change of pace.  

For now here's the update on the garden.  I've learned there are somethings I am good at (or the soil in the garden) and some that I am not.  We'll start with the worst....

green pepper...should not be miniature 

another casualty of the bamboo that was growing below it

Here's the good stuff...

garlic

Here's the best....

Two more updates before I wrap this up.  First I have move into week three of the Couch to 5K and it is serious business and pretty painful.  If there is anyone who has completed it and has any inspiration please let me know.  Second the reason I did not post this weekend is because I joined some co-workers for Relay for Life.  Great time but I learned I am waaay to old to stay up all night.  It took me all weekend to recover.  Here is a picture of some of our team.

I'm the one in the shadow with the glowstick headband :)
