The Garden

It was a beautiful day today! The sun was out...temp's around 70...and I got to play in my flower garden. The wind was blowing pretty hard making it difficult to get a picture...but it simply added a wonderful challenge.

My husband built this particular garden for me two years ago. (I have a few others; some came with the house and I built one with a rock border) He built this one with railroad ties and filled it with really good top soil. The rest was up to me. On the back side of our farm is an old farm house; I relocated some of the plants to my garden. There are also spots where an old farm house use to be and I relocated some of those too. Then, there is also some of the plants from my husbands family farm. A little TLC and plenty of mulch, the garden looks beautiful this year.

Each year, Evie and JD worked in the garden with me. The kids would help me dig up plants to relocate and then help water the garden. In the cool evenings, it was always fun to see where most of the water would actually end up...in the garden or on the kids. Enjoying the garden today, we sure thought of Evie. We miss her; not a day goes by that we don't think of her. This garden serves as a beautiful reminder of the fun we had.
