Yay for Spring!!

Dallin, our garden owl!

Our simple garden

Pondering the vision for the rest of the yard.

So the place we're renting really has a terrible yard, no one has taken care of it for years it would seem, so Scott and I have taken it upon oursleves to fix it up. Scott has tilled the area by the door and planed a flower garden, and just outside our fence, where the morning sun hits, he has planted a small vegetable garden. Everything was looking wonderful and we got a bit of rain and everything was growning, then I started getting ideas, like tilling up the whole yard and making it oun huge garden and eating only things we grow oursleves. Scott quickly told me that we don't really have the time or money to take on such a big task and we just need to make sure the few plants we have live first. Well one day we go out to check on our garden and something had eat up our tomato plant!!! It was only a twig! We were so sad, so we started trying things like pepper, and such to make whatever was eating it go away. Well that worked for only a day or so, then the new leaves were eaten up again. So we went to Lowes and bought an owl, I love our owl, when I picked him up there was a tag on him that said Dalen, I looked at Scott and said "Oh his name it Dallin, Oh Dallin I love you!" Scott and the Lowes worker that helped me find Dallin both just bust up laughing and then Scott and I went home. Dallin has done a great job, we now have a flurishing tomato plant that almost looks as big as it did when we bought it, who would have thought that I would care about a garden right!
