Blessings, Bunnies & Herbs

I finally got my herb garden planted...
I love herbs, for cooking and teas...
When my husband built it I thought it was
way too huge.  I was like-I wont need
all that! Well...I guess he knew me better
than I did...
I filled it mostly with perennial herbs.
 This bed was build with salvaged 
concrete.  I love it because it reminds
me of an old stone wall.
My greenhouse also now has electrical  so I ran a sting of
lights down the center and it lights up nicely. On sweltering
summer days I can go to my greenhouse on cooler 
nights and putz around.   I switched
out the shade cloth to one I had from the old
house when our apple tree fell down.  How
great that it fits this one perfect!
I finally got all everything organized and neat.
I have been working on slowly
repotting my house plants one by one.
I love my metal letter 
"fresh cut flowers" sign
I found at Michaels 75% off.
I have just been overly Blessed this year
at finding Garden deals on plants, shrubs
and trees.  I haven't kept track of
what I spent but I know it's a total
Blessing when I just sit back and
look at how many I have been able to 
buy.  So many have been crossed
off my wish list!
Many of my succulents were in sad shape.
I have repotted and fertilized them
and am hoping for them to thrive now.


I love my easy ramp like steps...
everything we create now is 
with the thought of how will it
work one day when I am elderly.
As you can see the herbs are filling in nicely

Here's a little sneak peek at the pond & waterfall
my husband built.  I still pinch myself
daily that this is where I live
and this is my dream yard!
I remember 15 yrs. ago driving
by this yard on my way to the barn
thinking WOW... Holy Smokes
look at the size of that yard! 
Would I love to have a yard
like that! That's why it's so hard
to fathom that it now is my yard!
I truly thank God
for my Blessings!
