Froggie, is our garden mascot….he keeps the plants company when we are away!
Twin Giants
These are the two newest sunflowers in our yard. We call them the “twin giants”. I think that overall, these have been our favorite plants of the summer!
Watermelon Blooms
We’re thrilled to see these new little flowers.
They Are Ripe
And ohhh, so sweet! This was according to the two young men who enjoyed a couple of them yesterday.
Mystery Plant #2
I submit for your consideration mystery plant #2. Both of our mystery plants seem to be fairing well in our garden…we just wished that we knew exactly what they were! : )
Mystery Plant #1
I submit, for your consideration, mystery plant #1. I know that these grew from some kind of seed that either my children or myself planted in these boxes. What I don’t know, is what it was…if anyone knows, please let me know and rest assured, I’ll keep up with my garden journal a little better from here on out!! :…
Totebag Updates
I had the privilege of speaking for a while with my dear friend, Maribel, yesterday.

I guess the cherry tomatoes will be a quick snack for someone in my home…but there are lots more for yummy salads growing outside on the vines right now. We are also seeing…

School Supplies….So Far
This is the start to the Lambert school supplies (minus textbooks) for the year. I still need to purchase loose leaf paper, rulers, colored pencils, pencils, pens and some additional small learning activities for the littles in my home. I know it seems like a bunch, but in contrast, if we had the six school aged children in our home…
Wreath
This is the finished honey suckle wreath that I made a while back. The only thing that I would have changed would have been to wind it tighter…it tends to expand as it dries.
