The bulbs are always just as beautiful to me as the Spring Daffodil’s.
life in and around the garden

An old discarded garden tool used to mark the Herb bed.


Farmer Carl advertised a chicken brooder house for sale.
After a lovely visit with Carl, I purchased the “rustic” farm building.
Not quite sure how or if it would make the journey to our property..
but I had a vision!
Luckily, my husband is handy, and he didn’t give up!

As always, it’s a family project.
“Yes, kids–we are getting chickens and chickens are so cool”!

I will admit that I obsess over my little seedlings in the greenhouse.
From the moment that tiny seed drops into the tray, I watch for that tiny little bit of green to show.
Keeping the temperatures just so in the greenhouse, while Winter still howls just outside–
well sometimes it makes for sleepless nights.
But the reward is healthy, naturally grown plants, that grow delicious garden goodness.
