My Garden - 2015

“I look upon the pleasure "I" take in a garden

as one of the most innocent delights

in human life.”

Cicero

(Harris’ Farmer’s Almanac – 2006 Season – Page 39

I am so LOVING this time of the year...where I work in the sun...

my nails constantly has dirt under them...

and NATURE...breaths LIFE into my soul...

I took some pictures, today, of the transition...my 

flower beds are taking...Our growing season

is limited...so to take pleasure of its

new awakenings...thrills me

to no end...

These are NOT all my flower beds...

When they are all producing beautiful flowers...

I will take more pictures, then...

Hopefully, in JULY...

smile 

We are in the midst of creating a Fruit and 

Vegetable garden...More pictures

later...when they are more

mature...

 The poppies and blue flax are from my plantings of
LAST YEAR...

 I LOVE DAISIES!
These are annual "Pink" daisies...
I have some "Shasta" daisies...but, they are just
beginning to grow...will take picture of those
when they are more fully in bloom...

 Little bee...happily obtaining pollen...

Garvin built me all these boxes...

Cosmos is one of my absolute

FAVORITE...flowers...

Some of my herbs...

 Garvin working on a screened cage for our 
strawberry plants...

 More herbs and pepper plants...

 More herbs and such...

I LOVE VIOLAS!

Last year's project...I planted from "seed"

"36" different variety of violas...

I did NOT picture the box of new plants coming up...

I will wait...till there are more in bloom...

And lastly...I spotted this interesting...butterfly...

I can't recall coming across a

"Black and White" one, before...

Not certain...that this could be a 

"White Admiral"...?

I can hardly wait to capture more

in the future!

Wind Storm

It felt like we were in Florida, again...

only...it was a WIND storm here in

Idaho...

It was quite fierce...

We ended up with no electricity for 3 hours and woke up to this...

 Do I really need to comment here?

Memorial Day Activities

After Our Mini "Service" Project...

OUT came the "Holy Griddle"...

We used the "griddle" for breakfast and our dinner...

Our family is now getting to the size of a "Branch"...

In a few years, it will seem like we will be 

feeding a "Ward"...smile 

 Lillie in the back of Papa's pickup...

Nothing like a ride in the back of a pickup!

 Jared and Dave help unload the griddle...

 What would we do without the "griddle", huh?

 PUSH ... PULL...

Go Garvin and Day!
