    Flags and a garden update

    July 22, 2011 - By 

    So I go out to check the side garden this morning and the deer have eaten the tops off my green beans and snow pea plants. Wasn’t that nice of them…pesky things.  So I decided that maybe some flags would scare them…create some movement…and generally get in the way of their snacking. Bonus…I think they look cute.  We’ll see what happens.

    The garden box is also doing very well.  There are tons of little green tomatoes on the plants.

    Check it out …

    Nature is funny at times.

    First harvest

    July 12, 2011 - By 

    The weather has taken a turn for the better so I took my coffee outside this morning.

    We decided it was time to start harvesting some from the garden. It’s nice to have little hands to help in the garden.

    Have a great day!!

    Rusty sneak peek

    July 7, 2011 - By 

    I’ll be getting my package ready to mail off to Elizabeth today.

    I can only show you a tiny snippet or two of  her rust and white pages until she receives them.

    I used both rusted fabric

    and rusted paper to create my pages.

    I hope Elizabeth likes them!!

    Before I let you go, I just had to share these flowers…
    I picked all of them from my yard.
    Did I mention that I love flowers!?!?
