My husband and I bought our first house in Nov. 2005. Since then I have been documenting and observing our yard. I have started a vegetable garden, compost pile, and added on to existing perennial beds in the yard. I nearly killed the roses, and the bunnies have had their way with the Autumn Sedum Stonecrop. In 2007 my husband and I also had our first child, she is such a doll, very contemplative about everything/one she sees. She takes up a majority of my time when I am home, but I can't wait to teach her about the earth. She enjoys being outside and I hope that she will share my love of gardening one day.
