this morning in the garden


As the first sign of light shone through the trees, I put my new blue garden boots on and headed out. 


The bright red tomatoes begging to be picked.


My happy Cuban Oregano plant.


Greens needing some good fertilizing next to what I think is a lambs ear.

Chinese radish and beets......hmmmm....I think we will make kimchi.


Stripy looking perky and excited to see me.


Loving their morning salad.


A view from the compost.


Edible weed lined path.


Jetta woke up and joined me. Proud of her find.


Almost ripe.


Finding some peppers.




A red one!


Chinese What!!!???

They are almost bigger then her!


Just a pretty view. 


Oh yes, our new addition. A swing made from an old papsan chair we found on the side of the road. Hours of fun I tell you.


Making a bouquet after pruning the rose bushes. As she worked she said, "Most kids are going to school right now, and I am cutting roses." And she continued with a pleasant look on her face. 
Have a wonderful Day!

a coop raising family affair (and stump murals)

This blog post is part of 365 Days of Happiness 

Our coop is going up. With little and big hands working together, this new home for our chickens is actually taking shape. 


 


During the coop building this weekend the kids got the inspiration to paint, so I put them to work beautifying the garden. We had all the neighborhood gang of kids over painting stumps.


It was so nice having Aunt Pam over to hang out and enjoy the breezy afternoon with us watching the coop go up.





now for a little clear coat.....



I think the chickens are going to like the berry patch next to them.

There is nothing more beautiful to me then when artistic creativity meets nature.
