It’s amazing how getting a new camera gives your blogging new life. I have been meaning to blog about some of the things I’ve been doing to keep myself busy until this baby decides to come but I wanted pictures of it all.
Well, here are some pictures of one of my projects. Ignore the natural pool of water that’s accumulated behind our house. I’m so glad we bought our lot which is a walk out basement on a lot that is slanted so the water runs away from the house. I don’t think they’ll get those lots sold until we get enough sun to dry that mud puddle.
My kids keep asking to swim in it.
Not likely!
I planted strawberries, basil, orange mint, lemon thyme and chives.
I did container gardening because we’ve been advised not to landscape for the first year so the land can settle around the house. Next year we have plans for a lilac bush, a larger herb garden and something for the kids to play on. For now though I couldn’t stand looking at my deck, all that space with nothing green on it so I planted just a few things. I’m hoping to enlarge my herb selection once we return from Osoyoos.
Here’s the deck although it’s been raining lately so it looks much more drab and overcast than this region usually does.
Because of the cloud coverage you can’t see the mountains but I’ll get some shots of that on Tuesday, if it warms up like they say it will. For now though you’ll have to settle for these shots of the view from our deck.
The view is BEAUTIFUL!! I am jealous I’ve been wanting to plant some things in some pots to put out on our deck too!!
