It sounds counter-intuitive, but it really makes for a lot less waste and a  lot less mess.

I know they just can’t see all the weeds from the road, but it does make me feel encouraged..If it wasn’t looking so good, I know we’d hear about it.

“So, I hear you’re having a little trouble with the old garden, there.” With a little wink and a smile.Or something like that.Because we’re those crazy kids with the too-big garden who moved here from the city and suddenly we think we’re little farmers or something.

But they don’t say that!They just say it’s looking good!.

And we have corn!

I can’t wait until the rows get to be really tall.Anyway, with out further ado, here it is!.

So, I have to be honest with you, even though I only spent a total of maybe 5 minutes decorating this year, I actually really.love how our house looks right now more than ever before.

Everything is really simple and tidy and just calming.I like calming these days with a 1-year-old and a bathroom completely torn apart to deal with.
