Sweet Sammy Pie: Big Days: Birthday Bash

This weekend was full of magestic and magical things. The whole property [the horse farm/park] by my house just opened up to the public. It might be the last remaining piece of rural land left within the city of Lafayette. There was this whole legal battle going on for years and years to preserve the hourse farm. The land is so vast and lush. I cant wait for this to be my new trails to run on.
Again, I am so excited about my plants sprouting. I had recently made my Living Shadow Boxes (will soon be putting up a DIY guide on how to do them) that I had planted Dwarf Mondo Grass in, as well as forget me not(s). The mondo grass was just planted in there just because i didn't want a box of dirt hanging on my living room wall. I came home to see that the seedlings are just starting to peak out. I am more than excited about this. Being that this is a prototype to my shadow box project, I would say this experiment is going pretty well. I hope they flourish just like my peas did. I am amazed at how much those peas are changing on a day to day basis. I'll be building a lattes for them soon enough.
Yesterday was a big deal, because I wanted to make sure Thomas has the best birthday he could have possibly had. He's not too keen on any celebration that centers around himself. We decided to just have a grill out at his sister's new house. [which looks like a page ripped right out of a veranda magazine] It was nice and great to have the family together. But, only in Louisiana will someone blow their birthday candles out on, not a chocolate cake, but a batch of home-made bread pudding.
Here are a few pictures to sum up the weekend.
