...literally. Shaun broke the garden this afternoon - and. I. love. it. I so enjoy planting a garden and watching it grow from seedling to sprout to harvest time. And I'm especially grateful for the land to have a garden
and good health to work in it.
I'm looking very forward to delicious home grown veggies to eat and to can. Can't wait to line up the pretty jars in my new "soon to be" pantry.
As you can see - lil' man is right behind his daddy looking for fishing worms...
...and he sure found a few.
Since I last showed you - we now have a roof - a metal one in "burnished slate". We are really happy with it and think it fits right in. Siding goes on next week!
Hope you get to plant a garden this year! What's your favorite thing to grow? Mine - well, I must say Mr. Stripey tomatoes! lOOOOOOOOOOve 'em
Happy Spring my friends!
Cathy
Oh and P.S. - I'm having a lil' spring giveaway in just a couple of days - be sure you stop by to put your name in the hat.

We want one in the worst way for our 'city' cabin here in Cincy, but they don't look like that nor come in colors like that.
Okay I'm over it...LOL..I didn't even notice no siding it looks so good now under roof 8)
What a beautiful view from the garden spot. Can't wait to see how things grow.
Your home is absolutely beautiful....and it's not even completed. Can't wait to see how you decorate it inside!!! Congrats!!
I love fresh veggies from the garden. I grow leaf lettuce, sugar snap peas, grean and yellow beans, tomatoes ~ but my favourite thing is the fresh sugar snap peas ~ yum ~ ;-)
We have never had a garden but this year we are going to give it a try! Got to have tomatoes! Love the roof.
Oh my gosh, your house looks so nice. You must be so excited! Your head must be spinning with all sorts of creative ideas! I love all kinds of fresh summer vegetables. I am looking forward to seeing how your garden progresses.

What a wonderful roof!!! This is one of my dreams - to have a metal roof - I'm living my dream through you - thanks so much!!!
Sounds wonderful. love the photos. We had a veggi garden when we moved in it wasnt much so we removed it but I am thinking of making another one, we had one on the farm when I was a kid and I remember how much I loved the fresh veggies and picking them with my mum she also did canning. Hope you have a wonderful season of veggies and may it be plentiful for you. Have a great day !
Love the house! My son and I started working on our garden today but the wind was about to blow us away here in OK. First off we are planting strawberries.

Wow, your house is huge and very pretty. It will be beautiful when you get finished. I know you are excited. I love the colors that you have chosen to put on your house.
Thanks so much for the compliments on the house. Anne - you are too kind BUT the house is not as big as it looks - it isn't even a full second story in the back - it just looks that way - it is really tall however. But I am grateful and I feel blessed to get this opportunity. Sometimes I feel guilty about it but we have worked hard and this was a dream of my husbands. I pray that the move all goes smoothly and it'll be here before we know it. Gotta get busy packing up some things. ;-)
WOW...now THAT is a garden! Love the roof on your cute house too! Happy Spring Ya'll....from Houston, TX
Hi Cathy,
How wonderful!!things are really coming alone..You know we don't have a garden, how sad..We do have a lemon tree does that count LOL. We were thinking of planting some tomatoes alone the fence. Our pool and grass area take up all the space in our back yard and the rest is patio.
Have a sweet day and hugs,Elizabeth
How nice you can break the garden. We are expecting more snow next week and Spring is a ways off yet. I am also in love with your metal roof. We wish we had done that 15 years ago when we built our house. Enjoy your garden.
Your house is looking great. Love that roof. That's a large garden. We will have a small one. I'm looking forward to tomatoes too. I will look for Mr. Stripeys. Strawberries too. Yum.
Cathy,
Thanks for sending me a msg yesterday...I really appriciate the words of encouragement. In fact keep 'em coming! I need all the help I can get right now. :) I have so many questions about BEING a farmer's wife that I just dont't know who to ask. Thanks for checking into my blog, sorry it's not much to read or look at...still trying to figure it out.
Btw, your new house is really looking beautiful! To watch it take shape from all your pictures is amazing. I hope you continue to have good luck and hope that you get to plant your new garden soon!
