My dear friend Erin is getting married this summer. I am so excited for her because it is a perfect match, and also she is awesome and I love weddings. So when I took Tuesday to the carousel and noticed a little bee/honeycomb dish set in their gift shop (Erin is an amateur bee keeper) …

Al fresco
I am so excited about my yard this year. All three of us are obsessed with it I think. I’m having fun seeing how many plants I can cram in, so many nurseries, so many choices! Bj is more practical and pointed out that we needed something to eat on out there and maybe we …
The Cottage Garden – early spring
It really is spring, and I really am starting to love it. Of course it’s mostly been raining, but we go out as much as possible (even in said rain). This weekend though we got a little bit of not-quite-sun-but-not-freezing-and-only-a-little-wet weather that was good to get things started in the yard. The first thing you …

My freaky fall garden
This is a crazy weird fall. Lots of sun (say what?!?!). It’s caused my yard to be beautiful and amazing. I can’t believe how much of it is still green! The leaves are going to be dropping very late this year. My little munchkin and I still find lots to nibble on. My poor confused …

And the back:
Yes we did do the back yard! Remember what it looked like before (here is the full before): I know, right? I love our yard! The before looking back at our house: and after: And if you “zoom out” Here is a picture standing up on that landing for our garbage/compost/recycling cans: To the left …
Wanna see the front?
Ok so I still have to stain things in the back and finish up some bits here in there so I want to save those pictures. But check out the front! Same view last summer: Curb in the same place and it looks so much bigger to me! Bj and my step dad made this …
Just have time to say
That we have plants. They are almost all in the ground after a busy work weekend. I am so happy with them. But many of them are not happy with me after days of HOT HOT HOT. My roses especially took a beating (this is the before on those). My mother in law was kind …
