Looking at the garden pictures from one week ago I see a considerable increase in the amount of green. My garden is growing! The satsuma tree has birthed one lonely satsuma. We weren't expecting much from our citrus tree until next Fall, but this little one was a pleasant surprise. The red leaf lettuce is changing with the leaves on the trees; the hammock is up and plenty of lounging has been going on in the cool breeze. My three year old lays very still in it, hanging his toddler legs over the side. I've always been impressed with his ability to abruptly halt play, making time to kick back and relax; a rare thing for someone so young, and a good reminder to me that sometimes the answer is simply to: s l o w d o w n .
And, since 80% of our household is male, and we have a couple of foam swords lying around, sword fights are inevitable.
There you have it - week five for my little garden. Year five for my oldest little person. There's a whole lot of growing going on over here!
Looks great! How lucky to still be enjoying such nice weather! It sure was fun to see a surprise comment from you and be reunited again. I tried to check out your family blog, but couldn't. But it looks like you have darling boys! What a fun family!
