Summer Love

There are so many things to love during the summer, but around our house, two things have really captured our attention.

Mornings bring a quick check on progress in the garden....

The Beginning





And this is what we woke up to this weekend....







Afternoons after work we sit quietly waiting for the hummingbirds to make an appearance



Oh look! There's one now!




Do you see? There it is again!



This is fun!



What has captured your attention this summer?

Winter Gardening

Last weekend was spent shopping for bulbs and then planting them. My goal is to keep us outside even as the weather gets colder. 

As we were walking to "Rehm's" (our local gardening center), I was thinking of all the great shots I would get of the munchkin admiring the plants. Although when we arrived, he had plans of his own, he had found the centers cat, Daisy :) We spent the majority of time chasing the cat around and trying to pet her! 

A great lesson to stay in the present, it really is a gift!

We eventually did get around to looking at the plants....wow!

The next day we dug up some compost, and planted the bulbs.

Nice and warm for the winter!
