Dear Under the Sun blog subscribers. I just wanted to take a minute to explain why there have been no blog posts as of late.
I had been expecting a baby in mid-December, December 18th to be exact, but the little guy decided to come a little early. Ethan Chance was born on November 30 via c-section. Since then, I have been unable to post blogs for your viewing pleasure.
I will take time to upload the blogs that would have posted under normal circumstances until we are caught back up. This means you may see some blog posts on the weekend days as well as week days.
Thank you for your patience.
Jennifer

It's funny how things change over the course of 9 months. In just about a month, I'll be having a baby. It's our first. A boy-Ethan. It's definitely going to be something new for my husband and I.
I think about how I will be able to teach Ethan all of the wonders that happen in a garden. As a kid, I didn't have that same sort of wonderment or interest about plants, insects, the soil or anything related to horticulture. My parents aren't gardeners so I was the one elected to mow the lawn, but that was a chore way back then.
For Ethan, I want to be able to show him how to identify plants by touch, dig for worms, sniff the scented geraniums, and look for the crazy bees that come in the summer. This is just scratching the surface of the gardening world we will get to share. It will be all new to him. I can't wait!
