I loved when you talked about gardening as a learning experience. We bought a house last year with these gorgeous raised beds and crazy garden in the backyard. I really wanted to make use of it... but I have a 3 year old boy and one year old boy, and work full time so my approach was plant everything with no research, see what happens, if anything grows, go and learn from there. I'm already seeing green beans sprouting!

Glad you are feeling better. Chickenpox are not fun. Here in the Netherlands, most children get them when they are in the beginning of elementary school. I remember me having it and it was tough when my daughter had it when she was 6 or 7. Here summer term is almost beginning. my daughter will be free from school for the summer, It's not until the middle of July though. Can't wait, we're all tired and can use some weeks off. What a great idea the clothes line for the garden gloves! Garden seasoning is about to begin, another week and a half till my expected last frost date.

What a beautiful flower arrangement. Just a Little tip here, dont mix daffodils and tulips in one vase. Daffodils will reduce the lifetime of the tulips. They loose some kind of glue which cuts other flowers from water supply.

Hi Natalie, oh, I love your garden & your garden shed & how you hung your gloves! So cute! Those cute little shelves are darling & holds quite a lot of things! Just a thought about the merrygold flowers you were talking to your kids about them. They are also bad for allergies. I'm definitely allergic to them. So, in case you have allergies, I wouldn't plant them. I know they have some good things, too. It has to be your choice! Oh, I love your sweater vest! It's darling! My Mom was a knitter & crocheted too & she could have made that. She made me & my kids sweaters & sewed clothes for all 4. She was a special lady! I miss her terribly! My kids had chickenpox, my younger girl got it first, 5yrs old & then all 3 got it next. They were 8,7 & the youngest 4yrs. She teased them terribly. But they teased her for having it in the first place. Ha! So, thanks for sharing! You'll make a great grandma!!! You have a great Mother's Day!👩🌾 ♥️☺️🫂🦉🌹🦋🐾🐾🪴🧵🪡🧶✨️
