    Rusty sneak peek

    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!?!?

    Early morning gardening on Tea Tuesday

    I’m not going to lie…it’s still coffee in my cup.
    I wanted to get outside and check on my plants.
    The squirrels have been driving me crazy with their digging!!
    Ok, my green onions are fine.
    Maybe the movement of the pinwheel is helping.
    Happy Flag Day!
    Oh good, my newly transplanted rhubarb looks like it’s finally starting to accept its new home.
    This is my latest goofy attempt to keep the squirrels out of my lettuce box.
    It looks like I’m trying to grow sticks. Not liking the look.
    Hey, where did the sun go??
    I better finish up my coffee so I can get the rest of my planting done before it decides to rain.
    Thanks for stopping by for tea…oh, yeah…coffee with me.

    Garden tea

    Had to take a little break and check out how the garden fared after the high winds from last night. It’s still super windy!! Seems as if it’s either raining or windy these days.

    The chicken wire is to try to discourage the squirrels from digging in the garden box. I found a black walnut that was beginning to sprout in there. I’m sure they are looking for more buried treasures. Little pests.

    Also check out the beginnings of another small garden.  We still need to put up fencing…both the chicken wire kind and the tall kind. There are bunnies that live under the shed so we have to keep the from getting into the all-you-can-eat smorgasbord. The tall fencing is to keep the deer at bay.
