How does my Garden Grow?

The nursery rhyme comes to mind, doesn't it?

Mary, Mary, How does your Garden Grow?

Well. I'm not Mary, (My Mother's name was Mary, though) and she loved gardening.  I love to watch things grow, as well. Moving our home from time to time though, makes it a bit hard to have a garden and the last few years, I've been lucky to have one plant around let alone a garden. So this year, I'm growing a garden. Wait until I tell you about Cindy's garden up the hill from me.

The white containers are kitty litter jugs with the tops cut off.  I am growing Sage, Rosemary and Tarragon for cooking with. The Elephant Ear and Diatheses are flowers I had at the farm and they did very well. The catnip will be fore the cats, when it gets larger.

 I don't have a picture of my Sea Onion aka Pregnant Onion as it's still recovering from the puppy thinking anything in a cup, left in his reach, is his.. I'm lucky he didn't eat the plant, just chewed on it and bit and tore up the cup.

 

My Morning routine is to walk the dogs, Put Rocky and Macon inside, Barney out on a short line. Take a Kitty Litter bucket around to the water faucet, fill it as much as I can comfortable carry, Get my black chair and put it by the plants, get comfortable then use a cup to water everything. With a little water left in the bucket, I fill my bird bath. I also have to remove any dead bugs when I fill the bath. I don't think any of the birds are coming to it, but I like it.

Good (early) Morning

 

Good Morning. I've already sorted the laundry and am now waiting for some daylight before going over to start it up. Don't want to wake the neighbors next to it, if I can help it.

The dog have had their first early morning walk of the day. I need to get a bit of things done before it gets hot today. Our expected high is near 90F. Last Weekend, Jerry found a Guitar at a yard sale. We went back and picked it up for $3.00 The strings were not in good shape at all. Jerry took it to a shop in Clarksville and for less than $25, had new strings put on it, and tuned up. He sat on his bed and strummed on it a bit and it sounds good. It's a Sony, at least that's what I thought he said it was. Was kinda hoping it was a Gibson but it's not. Oh. did I mention it's in a case? The man just wanted to not have to take it back home, I think. He sold a drum set for $100. The brass Cymbals alone were worth that. The rest of the drum set about $50 to $80. so who ever got it, got a bargain.

I spent most of yesterday afternoon, cutting out paper dolls with my Cricut. I want to take it with us to visit Heather but not sure how many of the cartage's I want to take with me. Of course I want to take them all, but that's not reasonable. I know the paper doll one, and a paper lace one, and one that has a card template in it. and.... and... well, maybe I will take them all with us anyway.
