It has been such a beautiful day – week, even. It was 81 degrees when I got to the garden today to drop off a bunch of stuff for the compost pile. I sat in the shade for an hour just enjoying the day & the birds & the blue skies and thought about how I lucky I am to have this garden space.

My parents and I came out to the garden on Sunday to clean up all the leaves & grass & set up the second compost bin from found wire. I am so lucky that they enjoy helping me, it would have been a lot of work to do by myself.
