Nature's beauty

Watching my garden go from this...

to this...


has been a delight to the eye. Well... mine anyway.

It really has been a rewarding experience for me and all of my little garden helpers. It all started as I partnered with my gardening sister and listened as she taught me a thing or two. I began this process with this burst of enthusiasm and have pretty much stayed that way.


I've learned that I love gardening. I love taking a little time in the early morning hours to soak up a little peace and serenity as I smell the many different things growing in the soil .

I guess I can say... I’m a gardener. Okay, that may be a bit overstated. Okay, maybe a lot overstated with this being my first year and all, but hey, look what the harvest has brought.




A feW things my garden experience has taught me...

*You got to get a little dirty before you get any results.

*Buy garden gloves (the dirty fingernails, green skin and pokes from tiny little thorns... irritate me)

*I will NEVER take a plant for granted!

*You have to give in order to receive

 and the best thing I've learned....GARDEN FRESH IS DEEELISH!

JUST ME AND THE GIRLS

The boys (Wes and Dawson) are off to scout camp.  Mr. B.T.C and Nathan just left on a hunting trip to Utah.  That leaves me and the girls home alone.  Get ready to shop until you drop girls! This is gonna be a fun week! Late night movies, pizza, chocolate cake and popcorn.  Afternoon and late night swimming.  Shopping bags galore. New shades of lipstick.  Yep, that pretty much sums up the week.  Now hide the Nordi bags girls Mr. B.T.C is coming home:)

BACK TO SCHOOL 2012.

Woa, I'm already school shopping?!  How is it possible that the summer is gone and school is upon us already?   I may not be ready for the kids to go back to school quite yet (I want more vacation time ) but they are.   Now that the kids have met their teachers (we got lucky, everyone is thrilled with their teacher choice) and have reacquainted themselves with friends they are ready to begin a new school year.  Britley is a THIRD grader this year. She is extremely bright and ready to get to work. Breeley is a FIFTH grader.   I can't believe it!  She makes friends easily and is happy to meet her "new friends". Dawson is in 8th grade.   This will be his last year of Jr. High!  Oh boy- I'm sure he will make it a memorable year (His poor teachers).  He happens to be the "funny kid" in school.  We've gotten to know all his teachers a little more than we would have liked to. Wesley is a Sophomore in High Sch
