Grow little seed, grow!

I love the internet! I love all the gazillon different things you can research. For example just today I looked up the following things:
1. I wanted to know how long it would take for the white dutch clover I planted in my parkstrip to sprout. I am so looking forward to see little green leaves budding there instead of the dirt and weeds I have succesfully been growing for the last year. From my research I gathered in 7-10 days I may be granted that wish. That doesn't take into account the slight flooding that may occur from a most welcome rain storm. To those little seeds a single raindrop is like a 55 gal barrel of water dumped over a persons head. Best of luck little seeds!
2. I needed a great recipe for sweet potatoes. Therefore, I turned to my all time favorite recipe website, allrecipes.com. I selected the following recipe http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Sweet-Potato-Pear-Bake/Detail.aspx. I highly recommend it if you like sweet potatoes! I made it for our Early Thanksgiving Dinner. Jeremy's family was celebrating the visit of his younger brother and wife from Boston. Since they won't be here in November we celebrated early.
3. I have a myriad of things I think I need but truly I just want. So I figure if I find a super great deal on it is easier to need it. Today's search included bunkbeds for the girls, a desk, a train table, a bench, trex decking, RedBox new releases, just to name a few.
4. But, the only thing I ended up purchasings was a handful of seed packets. These though could truly be considered a need. See not only is our park strip in need of some greenery our whole front yard and side yard (and a large collection of other places in our yard) are in need of help. There is some green consisting of small tufts of grass and large amounts of weeds. But we will soon trade to make the entire front yard a brown oasis. It will be destroyed, pulled up, tilled up, and covered over with sod and other groundcovers. Yea! our simple summer project that has taken all year is slowly coming together.
5. And lastly but not least, I've decided my time investment in the internet really needs to have some value. So, I came here to blog.
