Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary...

...how does your garden grow? Well, no silverbells, or cockleshells, or whatever it is that's supposed to be lined up in a row. But we've got herbs. And lovely tomatoes. And look! My 1st tiny crookneck squash, just waiting to be eaten.

Also growing leaps and bounds? This cutie. Weighing in at almost 16 lbs., she's breaking my back...and my heart daily. She's way too much fun. I could just eat her up. (And I'm sure she's sweeter than that squash.)

The Secret Garden

Do you remember that movie? Man, that was a favorite of mine. Anyway, I now am owner of my own secret garden, which, while not hidden behind old ruins and filled to the brim with lovely trees and flowers, is just as wonderful and exciting.

Introducing, the Coulter Family Garden. (Official, eh? Oh, and click on the pics for close ups and descriptions.)





It's a lovely little space. I like to hang out there and just relax and sip tea and stare at the plants. Jon and I will start eating dinner out there once we get a little table. The garden's doing quite well so far, and the herbs and arugula have already been used in my kitchen. Wonderful. So, in around two months, we'll be sprouting veggies around here like it's nobodies business. How fun is a garden?!?!? SO.FUN.

I hope you all had a lovely Easter weekend celebrating our Risen Lord with friends and family, good food, and plenty of joy and thankfulness. We certainly enjoyed ourself over here. Even Sweet Adelaide had a good day.



Wishing you all a wonderful week!
