What a great week! We made some changes to the garden this year, adding five 4’ x 4’ raised beds, instead of the one 15 foot bed that I thought I had successfully negotiated for … Why? … Because, DH found these ‘ready made’ containers – and thought they would be easier/cheaper … Silly man! …
The weather was beautiful, our daughter was gorgeous … We had a great day! Moving on … I have a whole week to play in the studio. I have my garden starts growing … and I’ve roped DH into building one more (of the two requested) raised garden beds. It’s all about moving forward! The …
