Summer starts in June, according to pundits but because we plan(n/t)ed ahead due to unusually warm temps this spring, we are beginning to see the fruits or rather the flowers of our labor:). It feels like summer alright, with temperatures around 70. A walk around our house was a veritable lesson in botany. I must add that my knowledge of plants is a few degrees better than it was when I was actually pursuing a degree in botany, zoology and chemistry;). Here are some flowers from our yard that are rarely on the table. Some of the beautiful close up shots are courtesy, Paresh!

Summer is also that time when I have this great urge to re-create something. With one whole week between classes, I happily began to rummage through our modest pile of stuff in the garage. My goal was to make things that blended harmoniously with our plants. I bought a couple of used cabinet doors, table legs and nails at the local
ReStore for a couple of dollars. I also wanted to be able to carry my plants in during the long, winter months and began to think about natural planters.
Here are pictures of things that I recreated. Thanks to my family,
Paresh and Bill for all their help in building the bird feeder and bird bath;)
Hope for more flowers of fruits and vegetables and fruits and vegetables this summer for my family and friends and For Earth's Sake:)

Thank you for letting me work in your garden, Ma'am. I enjoyed it thoroughly!! You can be assured of a lot of free labor when I move to Fort Wayne. :)
Great Paresh! You will only be paid in fruits and vegetables! And you have to sing to the plants:)
