Everything changes as it grows...

Mint, cucumber, chocolate mint, chives, thai basil, roma tomatoes and rosemary!

Who knew that our boring ground cover would explode in bloom?!

Another surgery down. Another night in ICU before we go home. I am so thankful it is over.

Ellie got her adenoids out today, and new tubes. Surgery went really well, but it took about three hours for her to wake up. Three long hours, of brief moments of Ellie wailing and flailing and being miserable.
Then, she woke, and she was happy. Happy until she realized she was connected to an iv pole, and had been reunited with all her probes. She's sleeping, it's 6:30pm. Dinner was terrible, but she ate it without complaint.

Home tomorrow. Please, please don't let her catch watch the people around us in "isolation" have.
