For the love of gardening

Every season of the year is a favorite for me as there is something different to love and appreciate.  

Summer is fantastic!  This summer I have tried to spend lots of time in the garden per inspiration.  Some of the perks:

•  Our garden looks pretty nice - staying on top of the weeding is always a good thing
•   It is therapeutic and helps us be happy
•   Many great discussions with my kids
•   Life observations have been made
•   Instilling a good work ethic (for all of us)
•   It wears the kids out so that they can entertain themselves more quietly mid-day
•   Less time for arguing since we're too busy working :)
•   We get to eat yummy produce - there is nothing like getting a fresh bowl of sugar snap peas from the garden every day
•   Last & probably least - I've got a bit of a tan!

Callie loves to weed.  She consistently works longer & above expectations.

Hannah likes to go for the BIG weeds, but now we've worked so hard there are mostly small ones left. 

Not to be outdone, this is the path that Tyler built, rocks courtesy of our own soil.  

We've decided that our garden is now presentable.  It's time to take it to the next level.  We are aiming for thriving and beautiful.
