A Winter Garden Project

DAY 1:  Josh and I have been dreaming of a front garden for quite a while.  We have longingly looked out at our front-yard envisioning a space we can enjoy as much as our back-yard.  Finally on Sunday, we got to work!

The plans include a small crushed-granite patio with seating area, a mini creak for rain drainage, luscious green grass for Storey to play on, and a yard full of tall plants, herbs, and native flowers in the Spring.
Storey and I taking many breaks to snack  


Our Nani came over to hang with Storey while Josh and I got to work.  They shared a walk around the neighborhood as Storey caught a nap in her stroller; her little feet hanging over the side, the sun kissing her toes.    

It was a good day and it felt good to be working the earth, under a warm sun, with dirt under my nails.  I can hardly wait to see How the Garden Grows..
