After about 4 1/2 hours of backbreaking labor
this beautiful girl was brought on this earth.
~~~
Born May 11th 2009 she is truly a beauty!
~~~
She loves the sunshine, helping with dinner,
and being groomed by mama.
~~~
She is about 6X7 feet and weighs God knows
how many lbs!
~~~
Her name is Helga!
Awwwww! Isn't she beautiful??Helga is an herb garden brought to you courtesy of my cute
hubby that obviously listens very well!
You may recognize my mother's day gift!
So, on Monday, after 4 1/2 hours in the sun and a
very painful and unsightly sunburn to my lower back
between where my capris and my shirt sit when bending
over, she was all done and put together.
~~~
I named her Helga because:
1- Rob makes us name EVERYTHING! Just ask him.
2 - It's a perfectly hideous name that always makes me smile. :)
(No offense to any of you readers named Helga, although, I have to say that
if you are you probably already know what I mean.)
3 - I don't know, I guess she just looks like a Helga.
4 - She reminds me of my German Grandmother
(not named Helga by the way) and the fact that as a child she used
to have an herbal tea for just about any ailment you could think of!
~~~
So there she is, in all of her glory!
I am looking forward to using her in many recipes!
