Lucky Me
Today is my 4th wedding anniversary. So, I want to take a brief break from my regular programming and acknowledge that I am a very lucky girl. As my grandmother once observed, Jon is smart and handsome and on top of that he gamely indulges all my gardening whims.
He has become pro at removing grass, building raised beds, and identifying aphids. Once, last summer, he even followed me out into the garden at three in the morning to help secure a squash trellis that was endanger of toppling over during a windstorm. Seriously, that takes dedication. Luckily for me, he accepts payment in the form of butternut squash tacos made with squash grown on the still standing trellis!

Makes me smile and love my own fortune as well…I too have a man who builds my garden dreams with his woodshop. What a blessing love is~Congrats!
October 1st, 2009 at 11:17 amGreat – Happy anniversary! I too have managed to find a man who is bent on making all of my dreams come true. It’s been just wonderful since we met and now this Halloween will be 13 years together! Time to celebrate. Hey thanks for the squash taco idea – wow that’s good one!!! I made note of it and am thinking of trying that with pumpkin – I have lots of little pie pumpkins to fool around with right now. I really like your blog. Have a happy day, Bonnie
October 1st, 2009 at 11:35 amYay! Happy anniversary! Jon is indeed super wonderful…only fitting since you are also super wonderful. Enjoy your pizza and a movie! Do you have any genre you stick to for anniversary movies the way you go with Bill Murray for birthdays?
October 1st, 2009 at 1:13 pmHappy anniversary, it is always wonderful to have a man motivated by your same dreams (I’ve been with my raised-bed-building hubby for a bit over four years now too!)
October 1st, 2009 at 1:20 pmHappy anniversary. Now if I could even get my husband to eat squash tacos, I’d be happy.
October 1st, 2009 at 2:37 pmHappy Anniversary! My gardening partner and I have been together for 22 years. So many p-patches and so many positive experiences… Lately when asked, as we said goodbye to our “tentant farmer gig” on Bainbridge- Did you do all this? His reply- No, she did….There will be another garden in our future- I hope- But only one man…Happy Annniversary and many more.
October 1st, 2009 at 6:08 pmWow! Happy anniversary Willi and Jon! We’re starting to think you guys are our West Coast doppelgangers, lol. We share October 1st as our anniversary as well! This year was our third. Where did you go for your honeymoon? P.S. We drive by Terrain at Styers all the time, we’ll have to stop in there sometime soon and check it out. I’m just afraid I’ll want to spend too much money, hehe!
October 2nd, 2009 at 7:45 amWhat a good team!
October 2nd, 2009 at 8:29 amHappy Anniversary! As one who has been married for 20 years to such an indulgent man, I can truly say, you are lucky indeed. May your marriage be ever fruitful, and thank goodness for loving spouses.~~Dee
October 2nd, 2009 at 11:31 amThanks all around. You guys are too sweet! I’m happy that there are so many other good gardening partners out there.
October 2nd, 2009 at 1:51 pmCongrats! You sound like a really sweet person on the radio. I’ve been married five years and it’s kind of a sweet spot to be in . . .
October 3rd, 2009 at 4:24 pmI love the idea of butternut squash tacos. I’ll try it out.
And congratulations on your anniversary.
October 4th, 2009 at 1:16 pmCongratulations! Here’s to true love and gardening!
October 6th, 2009 at 8:50 pmI heard about your blog from my friend Deborah I. I love it!
Congrats on your anniversary! A lucky girl indeed to have found such a sweet, supportive partner. My boyfriend loves to garden and cook just as much as I do and we have a blast trying new things. I’ve been volunteering with Seattle Tilth to get my hands in the dirt since I don’t have a garden (condo living). It has been wonderful.
I’ll be back to read more about your adventures!
October 8th, 2009 at 10:00 amJamie–Welcome to DigginFood. I’m so happy to hear you volunteer for Seattle Tilth. I served on their Board of Directors for 6 years. It is a fabulous organization!
October 8th, 2009 at 4:12 pmThat is fantastic! I am hoping to go to the Tilth cider press in a few weeks. It should be a treat. I’ll have to try those squash tacos!
