Look Who Came to Visit

 Isn’t this the cutest, sweetest little thing? My oldest son’s friend found it hopping around in a public park. It’s snuggly and sweet and very domesticated so she and her Mom brought it here to our empty bunny hutch. It has food and water, and some hay will be coming later today. Is anyone inContinue reading “Look Who Came to Visit”

Remembering

I wrote this post two years ago for Memorial Day and thought I’d share it again today. My kids are a little bit (okay, a lot) bigger but this is still our tradition. Whether your attending a parade or service, spending time with friends with family or spending some time in the garden today, IContinue reading “Remembering”

Here’s what I have: Tulips are stillContinue reading “Garden Blogger’s Bloom Day-May 2014”

Glowing White Garden

Last night after our lovely Mother’s Day dinner in the garden, our first this year, we played a little bit of soccer. I’m an absolutely wonderful player and I really think that the reason my team won was because of the way I screamed and covered my head every time the ball came toward me.Continue reading “Glowing White Garden”

What Do You Want For Mother’s Day?

Mother’s Day is tomorrow and the scramble is on! What to get, what to give, what to do with Mom for Mother’s Day? Around here Mother’s Day has been about the garden since my kids were tiny. I love getting a few plants and then having a few hours to myself to plant them onContinue reading “What Do You Want For Mother’s Day?”

It’s a Yard Party!

To keep them safe, the chicks had spent most of their time in the chicken tractor until the other day. Michael let them out in the yard for a few hours and they had a blast! The first order of business was figuring out how to get out and how to get back in whichContinue reading “It’s a Yard Party!”
