Extra Snippets from the Week

 It's been a week of discovering a new love and appreciation for gardening. I fill the basket with what we need to carry outside each morning. 

Lovely bouquet from Benny. 

It's FANTASTIC to have this space for transplanting. I also love the feel of the tropics - it's always humid and hot in the greenhouse. 

The boys had another great playdate.

This girl with the dirt on her face - I think she's got the gardening gene. She's a girl after my heart..."I don't need a shower, Mommie."

One never knows what will come down the street. A good lesson for our student driver, Stacia, to learn. 

I bought this organizer for $15 - usually $41 - on our foray to Micahel's. It excites me to organize. I have just been taping seed packets shut and throwing them in the junk drawer, then buying more. I've lost seeds a couple of times this season. No more. 

The southeast side of our yard smells like lilacs...

We have had 2 1/2 full weeks of FANTASTIC weather. High 70's which is amazing for this time of year in Alaska. Many are saying it may be another hot summer. This next week has rain in the forecast. I'm looking forward to a bit of rain.
