We went to the Garden Festival at the park a couple weekends back. And we were pleasantly surprised to find they had a fairy trail, filled with little fairy houses! I have loved fairies since I was little, and fairy food and homes especially. Basically anything miniature that could be constructed with sticks, dirt, and flowers. I would love to make one of these for the fairy trail someday.
And our other favorite part of the garden festival was the fresh kettle corn and strawberry limeade.
Spring has hit in the front yard. The plants are coming back to life, and starting to grow into each other. Having a full, green flower garden is always the dream, right?
The rock garden is filling in nicely. I love the way the greenery grew around the pot. It makes me glad I left it right there all winter. We just added the little flower to the pot for the spring.
Our little herb garden is still going strong! The sage and rosemary have started to get very cozy together.
And the mint is spreading like wildflower. I just read that mint is a creeper, and should be contained in a pot, but oh well! Hopefully it realizes that rock boundary was an actual serious suggestion.
What are you growing this time of year?
I love the Easter season. All the flowers and buds appearing. The promise of leaves in all the trees comes true. The sunshine and dirt on your hands. Being reminded that nature knows what its doing. May your weekend be filled with bunnies, blooms, and love. Have a happy holiday!
1. I got a library card! I can finally cross it off my to-do list after a million years. I got my first couple books last night, and I’ve had my nose in them ever since. As a bonus, our nearest library has a pretty cool sign.
2. I made some banana bread yesterday evening, and it was a delicious breakfast, and also afternoon snack today.
We already have our very first strawberry! There have actually been a couple other red ones, but this is the first one that doesn’t have an already pre-nibbled side! It is very tiny, but we did manage to share the sweet bounty.
Can you believe March is coming to an end? Its already time for those April showers that will bring us May flowers. But before the rain comes, I thought we could all use one more pinch of luck- in the form of clover embroidery. I made the four-leaf ones easy to find.
Here are two tattoos I will never get, but might if I was the tattoo-getting kind.
What are you doing this weekend? We are thinking about going to the Garden Festival at the park, partly because they have garden talks and partly because it says there will be ice cream and kettle corn. Have a good one!
We’ve been doing some very thorough garden planning the past couple weeks. The late freeze set us back a little in timing, but everything will get planted soon!
I picked the last of our winter lettuces and greens this week. I lovingly washed them all, and sent the extras to the office so it will reach the destiny of being eaten.
We are giving square foot gardening a try this season, so we mapped out our beds, and did some research in companion planting.
We planted some seeds in a couple beds last week before the rain came, and look at that- they are already starting to grow! We have lots of beans, and a whole row of corn we are cheering on!
The Easter beagle is coming to town! And hopefully the bunny as well. There are lots of basket-ready stuffed animals available in the shop! And for a limited time, you can get 20% off your order with the coupon code BUNNIES. Hoppy spring!
This little parade of desserts gets me. I haven’t practiced my fabric embroidery in a while, but I loved making this treat towel gift. It now lives in the home of someone who deserves a tiny dessert parade in their honor every day.
