Pumpkin Patch

 

This year's crop! There are ten altogether.

   This one grew up the side of the garage, but got too heavy and the trellis broke!

It's a little early, but the leaves are already starting to wilt.
The yellow ones are now turning orange. And one plant turned out to be cucumbers!

More digging!

We had a trench dug in order to put in a row of hedges between the two properties. If I find any more stones I am going to cry!

Flower Bed

This is on the other side of the house, a flower bed, 6 x 1,5 meters. The neighbors changed their side (again) so I decided I should clean up mine and get out all the weeds. So after a week of digging, sifting, cleaning and refilling, I finally managed something acceptable. I put down a weed liner, it's supposed to keep them from coming back through. We shall see.

Still Gardening

Well I guess blogging is sort of like tending to your garden, if you don't give it the attention it needs, it will not grow. At least a blog doesn't grow weeds! I have been very busy though, will try to post some of my projects since it got cold and gray here again.

Here you can see that we dug up the foundation from two long gone garden sheds. The more I kept digging the more rocks and stones came out, until we ended up with 7 tons of them!

Handmade Paper Bowls

It's been pretty cold here the past few weeks, so I've been staying indoors alot keeping warm and making paper. Here are some of my lastest creations, all going to my friends shop "The Soapdish" to be used as gift baskets!

Happy Birthday

Hey little sis, welcome to the forties!

I remember sharing a room with you, but you were too small to play with. As we got older, you were still too small to share my thoughts with. Seems we keep getting closer the older we get, cause now I can tell you anything and you understand. We cry over the same things and don't have to explain why. I can call you and even if you're in a hurry, you take time to listen. We like the same music, the same clothes, the same food! I'm so glad we have each other. Love you, big sis
