Garden

This year for my birthday I asked for a garden.  I asked for a small starter garden.  
Of course, Brian decided to give me the garden of my dreams.  :)

My garden is so special to me.  I have very fond childhood memories being in my mom's garden. I can remember eating tomatoes right off the plant.  My godmother came to visit me for my birthday and she helped me plant the vegetables.  Having such a special person help with the process makes me so happy.  I walk out to my garden each day and think of my mom, my godmother, and then it spirals into all of the wonderful people in my life.  Sometimes I think of family or a friend and smile.  My garden is a place for me to think and feel the beautiful world around me.  Another great thing about having a garden, is that Levi now wants to play outside every night!  He loves running around the backyard while I look to see what has grown.  Levi squeals with laughter as daddy plays with a T-ball set.  Family time in the backyard is my favorite time of day.  I really hope the beautiful weather continues.  Below are some pictures of the process.  If anyone reads this and has veggie suggestions, please let me know :)
