I love to travel and even more, I love planning trips. As I close my eyes and envision each exotic destination - swaying palms, soft flowers, breezy caresses, soothing water, and the warmth of fragrant sunshine... I open my eyes and realize that paradise is really in the mind of the beholder. If I can feel that happiness somewhere far far away, why not recreate that paradise in my own backyard? It's a shame to let my 1/4 acre go to waste!

I do enjoy your blog. You must have some very well rounded children. |

I'm a bit on the nutty side, so I guess you could say rounded in that way. :) |

Me too, and Craigslist! Just picked up a brand new smoker today, and several gardening pots - all free from Craigslist. |

First thing my husband does (if he's home) in the mornings is scan Craigslist. |

You are too cool. You have the niftiest things. I love this planter also, reminds me of something, can't quite place it. Very nice. |

Thanks! I honestly think some former gardener must have passed on, and her/his stuff was donated to Salvation Army. I was finding way too many gardening goodies on that one visit! |

Sad, but I am sure they are glad that their stuff went to a good loving home. |

Thank you! He had lots of food to eat! Mainly the Crane flies flapping around, and a few moths. :) |

I'm not feeling so brave for direct planting yet. Crazy weather lately and can't help but wonder if we'll see some frost? How do you feel about this year's growing season in Texas? Feeling optimistic? |
