April Flower Patch + More Photos

We got a whole 'thumbnail' drive of photos from Steve and Mishelle - thank you!! Steve is great at documenting while we work - we are trying to do the same. Looking back already, it's pretty neat to see how things looked just a little while ago and how they are progressing + growing quickly!

In the moment, sometimes we are so busy that it is tricky to appreciate or understand the experience. Photos do help us revive memory and add perspective. And hopefully they can help bring friends and family closer, since we don't get to see most of you right now, until you visit...

If any of you do start any matter of 'blog' with photos and/or writing (hint hint), we'd love to keep up with your thoughts and adventures. We really appreciate the ones we read, they connect across the miles. Also if you don't know how and want any tips on starting one, just ask : )

Lots of photos from April and May, starting with these photos from April when we all worked on Mishelle's flower and herb patch:

*hand cultivation with Mish *Neil with snake friend
*raking out the compost *rounding up an escapee with Steve's belt


And then a couple of weeks later in early May, we continued on the patch:




*Steve with the 'claw' *all prepped to plant sunflowers

and I will have to get recent photos up soon, because the herbs have taken off and there are big, beautiful flowers blossoming now in mid June.
