back to write another day!

-
I know, I know, I only posted once for the entire month of April.  My excuse is a rather good one though, I was out doing field research so this month I would have even more stuff to write about!

The circus, Unblurred, Art All Night, a Processing workshop, stilt walking, a comedy show, first aid training, expanding the garden, speaking at an awards show, these are all things I subjected myself to in the name of research for you my loyal reader!  See how dedicated to the craft I am!

Somewhere in between all that, I also found time to update Timmy.  We are now at version 4 and the little bugger can properly turn in two different sizes of circles.  I am such a proud mama.



Also completed in the past month was my second live website created for one Matt Hughes.  You can check it out at matthughesmusic.com.  Matt is a local musician who performs at renaissance festivals throughout the United States.  He is also currently working on two new albums that fuse traditional Irish music with not-so-traditional rock.  If you're a try-before-you-buy kinda gal (or guy, or cat... I don't judge) you can hear his music every Wednesday night on PF/PCA Radio.

At the gentle prodding of Matt, I finally got around to creating a website for myself as well.  You can view her at cyanidecupcake.com.

That's really all for now.  Hopefully I will get around to elaborating more on my April adventures, but even if I don't, never fear, for May promises even more excitement!  Weddings, and robots, and Kennywood OH MY!

spring flowers.

There has been little action in the garden lately.  The seedlings are off to a good start inside, the radishes are chugging along in the garden, and there's not a whole lot that needs done between now and Labour Day.   It's actually rather boring. Happily the spring bulbs are blooming, providing some much needed cheer.

Coolest Little Zoo

We have been living in Wellington for almost a year, but for some reason we never found the time to visit the Wellington Zoo in Newtown. Now that we are both off work for the holidays we planned a visit, made easier by a buy-one-get-one offer from the Absolutely Positively Wellington Advent Calendar. We felt we had pretty high expectations as I grew up with the Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium and Seth has visited the San Diego zoo in the past. We can say with absolute certainty that Wellington Zoo is indeed the best little zoo in the world.   The trip was off to a wonderful start with the first animal on display being the little blue penguin. It's hard to compete with penguins, especially ones as cute as a little blue. The zoo only got progressively better as we moved on to the kiwi exhibit. Kiwi's are nocturnal so we weren't really expecting to see much activity in the enclosure which is a part of a mock research crate that features facts about the kiwi a...

onion update.

 Just 7 days from replanting our onion scraps and they have begun to regrow!   I wasn't expecting much from this experiment, so seeing the little bit of green is quite encouraging.  Once the leaves are a bit longer I will return the onion to the main garden and bury the bulb.     In other exciting garden news, after 33 days the courgettes are finally sprouting and in quite a fabulous fashion.  This is my first time growing courgettes and I was surprised at the size of their cotyledons.  It looks as though the pie pumpkin seeds may be preparing to push through the soil soon, too.   Most seeds need warmth, not sunlight, to germinate.  I was originally starting my seeds in the sunroom.  Though sunny, the room does not provide adequate heating unless it's a cloudless day.  I have since moved the seed starting trays to the warmest part of the house.  Once they sprout I move them into the sunroom so they can get enough sun....
