Down With the Aphids!

The return of spring weather motivated me to garden a bit during Ollie's afternoon nap.  We're fortunate to have several rose bushes in the garden, but they're already covered with aphids.  Instead of covering the roses with noxious chemicals, I think that I'm going to head over to the garden shop again and see about some natural predators.  If only the spiders ate them!  We already have a generous helping of eight legged creatures out there.  

I'll post some pictures of the garden soon.  My mother-in-law is very handy in the garden and helped me get it started this year.  Should be nice once everything gets going.

Ollie's doing really well still.  Slept about two and a half hours today...woo hoo!  We're going to a luau themed event this evening so I'll post a picture of him in his real deal Hawaiin Shirt, courtesy of Katie Mills.

Hope all is well with everyone,
