Bathing Beauty

Sorry, but I love these and I had to share!!!

Here she is, graduated from the bathroom sink to the big tub:

Big brother was a very good helper to keep her safe and he loved her splashes and joy!


This is my other "baby" and "pride and joy"

My garden is so enjoyable - messy and wild but I love it!

Sunflowers, carrots and cucumbers. I am trying to get the cucumber to climb up the sunflowers, is this a bad idea? They seem strong enough!

These are the pole beans climbing up the "no-step" horse fencing that we found on the property and were free for experimenting. So far so good! The spinach is bolting and I just pinched the flowers off of the basil so that it will grow leaves rather than seed.

This is the full view of the garden - it is a wild place, the weeds are very invasive and lush. But it has been a very enjoyable first year and I am so glad that we made the effort.

oh my that is a lot of weeds, if I have any OCD friends please feel welcome to come help tidy up this jungle!

LOVED the adorable bath pics and as for the garden WAY TO GO BACKER FAMILY!! You managed to sell a house, buy a house, move, build a shed, have a baby and plant a huge garden in a small amount of time. You guys ROCK!

I am so proud of you sweetie!

Getting this garden in place, growing, and gracefully accepting that it's not perfect...I laud your lack of OCD and acceptance of what is.

It's beautiful!
