day one of wednesday's vacation.

-
Since Wednesday does not have opposable thumbs we, her humble servants, will be taking care of her updates.

Today marks Day One of Wednesday's vacation with out us.  She will be staying in Virginia with her
grandparents until she is cleared to enter New Zealand in July-ish.  Not only did she survive the six hour drive in the moving room, she actually seemed to enjoy it.  Most of the journey was spent sitting in the rearview window watching Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Maryland pass her by.

Wednesday with her grandpep
When we first arrived she took some time to explore her new room, but once left alone she retreated to under-the-dresser for some much needed alone time.  That evening she came out and explored while the rest of the house slept and has been in good spirits ever since.  She is still a bit shy of the resident dog who she has only seen (and smelled) from afar, but we are certain they will quickly warm up to one another once proper introductions are carried out.

In true kitty fashion, when the time came for us to leave her she showed no signs of emotion.  We just keep telling ourselves she was trying to be strong for us.

Obviously the apartment is quite empty with out her and we both miss her very much.  She seems to be doing well with her grandparents though from the updates we have been receiving today.

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....
