Something New

In my last post I wrote about visiting Gerald in the Philippines. Gerald inspired me. My birthday was in April and when my dad asked me what I wanted for my birthday I said, "A garden!" He built me raised garden bed in the backyard and I'm so excited to try my hands at something new! Two weeks ago Robert joined me on my big outing to Devan Greenhouse to pick out the vegetables that I was going to plant. It was fun to pick out the veggies and "start the garden." On Wednesday Dee came over and helped me officially plant my vegetables. Here we are:




zuccini. cucumbers. 1 squash. kale. spinach. lettuce. carrots. tomatoes. strawberries.  


Thanks for your help, Dee! In an email to Gerald I said that "I hope I get a green thumb!" I'm looking forward to this new hobby and hoping for some fresh yummy veggies! I will keep you posted on how it progresses.

ps. Beauty is all around! just look for it...
