Keeping all those tools close by for garden work with a vintage tote.
I’m not going to lie, I can’t locate my favorite clippers!
How do you keep those tools handy?

Reminder
“Sitting quietly, doing nothing.
Spring comes and the grass grows, by itself”.

Waiting For First’s
The first little flower that will appear in my garden.
Soft lavender flowers on the Creeping Phlox.
They are the beginning I always wait for.
April Arrives
The peony beds are cleared and I can’t wait for the pretty, spicy flowers again.
Mud Time
The Spring snow is nearly melted-again!
Getting out the garden gear again!
Rakes, shovels, wheel barrows, pots and baskets.
Working on that garden chore list.
Easter Is On It’s Way
Spring took a few days off with the return of snow and cold in the garden.
Luckily I’m busy in the greenhouse moving seedlings to pots and sowing more seeds.
With Easter right around the corner, I thought I’d share an image from last years sweet baby ducklings.
MaMa Duck hatching these 11 babies just might be my favorite memory of life out here.
Peaceful moments watching this little family swim in the garden pond.
Spring Snow
A pause on Spring.
Accidents Happen
A couple years ago, I discovered I loved leeks.
Yesterday, I bumped my tray of leek seedlings.
I will be starting over.
I will not be denied my potato leek soup!

Clean Up In Aisle 4
After the snow melts I let the chickens into the kitchen garden to do a little clean up.
5 hens remain from my original chick purchase nearly 8 years ago.
The girls egg laying days are over, but they provide insect clean up and add to my compost pile.
All very valuable to the garden.
And doesn’t chickens scratching in the yard just make you smile?
Priceless!
