Well, I suppose its about time that I post something! My new job is 100% on the computer, so when work is done...the last thing I want to do is get back on the computer. So, I haven't been doing a very good job of keeping up with my blog! Things continue pretty much as usual here in the garden. I am enjoying watching things fill in and am trying to resist all urges that I have to buy more plants. I planted so much the last couple of years that I do believe it is now time to sit back and watch it do its thing for a bit.

My girls are growing up and my oldest has started to enjoy taking pictures with mommy in the garden:

Look at this pose!

So funny!

Work continues on the deck and next step is the long anticipated railing:

Then we are going to put in some pea gravel at the bottom of the steps and create a nice patio type area.

For my upcoming birthday, i got to make over the front porch.

here is a before picture:

And after:

I am so excited! I know we will get so much use out of it...we already used it alot,but now we will even more!

We pressured washed it before repainting and the funny thing is that I think we will be picking up blue paint chips for the rest of our lives - HAH!

The veggies are exploding and we are enjoying lots of eggplants and the tomatoes are really starting to do their thing. We have been blessed with a whole lot of rain this season and I am having a hard time keeping up with all the weeding and mowing. But, I really can not complain about rain, now can I?
