Gardens



This weekend we learned that we have a Magnolia tree here... and it's starting to bloom. Ryan and I are so inexperienced when it comes to flowers that we had to look it up. I don't think I've ever seen one up close before. They are so beautiful. Another great flower surprise.



We are in the process of building raised beds for our vegetable and fruit gardens this year. And, as we like to do, we found the most time consuming, back breaking way to build them. There is an old stone foundation on our property and we decided the stones from there would be perfect to build the walls for the gardens. So Ryan has been hammering out the stones and wheel burrowing them to the spot where we are building the gardens. Did I mention there are going to be seven gardens... he has been working hard.




And working right along side her daddy, Grace built her own garden. I'm not sure what she's growing but whatever it is needed a lot of water because she made multiple trips inside and out with the watering can (and left the muddy prints to prove it).
