Our garden

Beautiful hostas, lilies and far back there is our young lilac bush. It's under our bedroom window, so I'm hoping every spring, I'll wake to the fresh scent of lilac blossoms!
Look how our garden is growing! Last night and the night before, we had salads for dinner, lettuce fresh from our garden. I'm anxiously waiting for the tomatoes (we have 24 plants)!
This is the book about dogs that we gave to our friend for her birthday. Everyone loved it...you get to lift flaps, feel the dog's soft fir, etc.

We had lots of fun painting this box together.

Try this fun game ( you have to line up 3 of the same fruit): http://www.agkidzone.com/ss_games.action?asset=fruit_filled_fun_gm_ss
My girls like Strawberry Shortcake (so do I) and seriously, I'm a bit addicted to this game. I had to play easy, then medium, then hard and a couple of times before I beat the clock!

  2. Your garden is lovely!

    And, growing up we'd often have strawberry shortcake for dinner when the berries were fresh.

    My Dh doesn't like dessert for dinner, so I don't do it anymore, sigh.

  6. What a lovely little garden. I'm jealous. I didn't plant much this yr. Just sunflowers & tomatoes. Maybe a bigger one next year. I have missed gardenig this yr.

    For your daily dose of vintage goodness & a bit of silliness, stop by Confessions of an Apron Queen

    The address is still the same: www.cutchens.com
    but if you read my blog in a feed reader, the feed address has changed, so please update your subscription here.

    also, come by and I'd love to hear what you think of the new site.

  12. Hey Marfa! I love that garden of yours! I can't wait to actually have a house again so I can grow a big one. A side from my Aerogarden, I have a little garden out back but we only have 8 tomato plants! Enjoy yours!!

  14. Can I be green with envy about your garden? mine is nowhere even close to that! i think we must have planted a little too late in the summer. We didn't really get decent days until probably mid June...
    I LOVE that box house. We HAVE to make one ourselves! And I HAVE to show the game to Coco. Big time fan!!!
