The flowers bloom at midnight.

It's been a long few months around these parts.  And a long few years.  Time seems to move very slowly somedays.  Tick, Tock.  Tick, Tock.  On Friday, Brent closed on his house.  FINALLY!!  This was after many months of packing, house repairs, ridiculous delays because of drunk (yes, drunk), incompetent real estate agents, and irresponsible home buyers.

After closing, Brent drove down to Denver to meet up with Bryn, Heidi, and Me at Chilli's.  Heidi drove my silver bullet home and placed my keys in her flower pot.  Her text to me when she got home was the funniest text I've ever received.  "The silver bullet and I are home.  The flowers bloom at midnight."  I missed the pick-up because Brent, Bryn, and I went to Old Chicago's and then had to crash at Bryn's house.

It was fun hanging out under the patio lights on the roof of Old Chicago.  Brent met up with a childhood friend he hadn't seen in a long time.  No pictures of him, or his date, which I'm kicking myself about now.  Simple entertainment, folks!

Saturday morning we enjoyed some lazy morning conversation at Bryn's before heading back to Heidi's to get my car.  Once I finally made it back to the Fort, I met up with my mom at Green Acre to work on the garden and whatever else crossed my path.  I spent most of my time weeding my Grandma's rose bed. Our garden tomatoes and peppers seem stunted - some have leaves that have yellowed, purpled, and curled.

There is still some hope for the garden though.  We have squash starting and lots of potential pumpkin blooms.  Our corn looks pretty good.  The weeds were wrapping themselves around some corn stalks so I tried to thin some of those out.  Below is the before shot before weeding.   

This big pile of green is a mix of squash and pumpkin vines.  There's hope for a great pumpkin in there.  I'm crossing my fingers.  There are a few other smaller starts that may really take off this week.  Yesterday, Mom and I went back up to Green Acre and planted two more tomato plants and a pepper plant.  We added some fertilizer to all of the sickly looking plants.  I raked up some sticks and filled in random horse hoof holes with dirt.

Another great weekend in the bag.  I don't know what the next one will bring but I'm looking forward to it!
