Mary, Mary, quite contrary, how does your garden grow?

I have garden envy. I have friends that can grow just about anything and have delicious "fruits of their labor" to show for it. And I'm jealous.

I want to be one of those people that can say "I grow my own veggies." It sounds so magical! To have a garden would be lovely...in my head. The hopeful, whimsical side of brain thinks it would be fantastic but the realistic, reasonable part of my brain KNOWS nothing good will come from attempting a garden. Gardens are outside and we've been over the fact that I don't like Outside. And I'm horribly impatient and things don't grow or produce fast enough for me. And I'm pretty sure I've developed adult ADD so my 'focus' can be a bit sketchy at best. :)

And knowing all this - I still want a garden.

The other morning I mention my desire for a garden to my beloved. He immediately shakes his head and says No. (He likes that word and doesn't even struggle with saying it anymore. I'm not impressed. ;) ) I sweetly ask "But don't you want to grow our own veggies?" And without skipping a beat, my dear husband enthusiastically says "No! I like our canned/frozen crap just fine!"

:) He knows I'm crazy and he STILL loves me. I'm one lucky girl.

Until next time.....

To The Birds!!

My lovely husband and I spent most of a Sunday working on our backyard. Mother nature managed to kill most things green and what she didn't kill our beloved dog took care of. And with my impatience and compulsiveness I decided to get rid of all things brown. So we spent the day hacking away at things and now everything is green! How thrilling!

Due to a series of unfortunate events we ended up the owners of a bag of bird seed so we felt it shouldn't go to waste. So we got a bird house to go along with our lovely backyard. But apparently the birds aren't the ones we're feeding...

Sneaky little Squirrel! :)

Until Next time.....

Craft Hope

I found this website a few months ago and I just love it. It's crafting with a purpose! It gives me a project to do and I get to help in the process. Brilliant!

Project 7 is Bean Bags. I'm going to ATTEMPT to sew a set of color bean bags for the children of Liberia. I've been OK with my sewing attempts so we'll see how this goes.

So if you're crafty and have some time, check it out!
