Feeling awful today....can't talk so I thought I'd right. Had my first sale last week sold a few plants. not many but it put me on the map...and gave me some confidence. I'm really liking it. I am soooo excited about planting my poteger (potege') garden. I bought my tomatoe and pepper plants on Mem. day....but can't plant till next week. Waiting is so not in my character....but I wait none the less.

I've been applying for teaching jobs in the area..(do not want to drive 1-1/2 hours to work in the fall...and we are praying for GM....or should I say GOVERNMENT motors....lol..not funny...

anywaz....hoping and praying that shawn does not get layed off. although they need a welding teacher at the carreer center....if he gets the job...he could take a buy out from GM....and teach...that would be way cool....but we are trusting God for His direction.

I will post pics of my garden...but I must tell you something....

I have..or had an UGLY porch...when it came to curb appeal...this house was in desperate need. but with the kitchen renovations...and thousands of other projects... that was NOT going to happen...however..our builder guy...was putting new gutters on the front of the house...and found the roof of the porch caving in...IT WAS NOT ATTACHED TO THE HOUSE..so darn it had ot come down...with the porch...so I got a new very stylish entrance way and new deck...I will post pics... a must see!

kitchen is coming along as you can see below we'll be putting in the backsplash this week..then the trim then the floor...YES!! and then its decorating time...something I absolutely love!!

well thats all for now..

I'm back!

Sorry its took me sooo long but the winter is boring ...and full...and it just doesn't stir the creative writing juices..ok...truth is ..I've been on Facebook and its soooo much quicker..although I like being able to ramble out the little things of life....ya know like a toddler..always can fill up a page with Caleb around...but the cool thing is its summer and its garden time!! whoo hoo!!

So its tilled and ready to go. fertilized and ready to rest for two weeks for planting....and this year I'm going above and beyond the "normal" garden...no neat little rows for me ...I've got dreams of a Potager (Po-ta-je') garden...other wise known in the USA as a kithchen garden...not nearly as romantic. The difference is raised beds which are choreographed with flowers and garden art, and fountains to create not just food but an experience. My garden will have benches and swings..yes ..you know how I love swings...and I am soooo excited. It was beautiful today!

Sun was shining...a bit cool...just in the 60's...but bright sun!

My husband is out putting up my fences. I purchased to faded white picket fence panels from a nursery for 10 bucks. (because they had clearanced them out.) Now I know your thinking what can you do with just 2 panels of fence?!...well I didn't know just then ....but I knew in my mind of mind and brain of brains ...that a stroke of genious was going to hit and then I would know...well it hit me ...to make a corner garden in my front yard..it hints of a border for the yard..and brings in the cottage ambiance I'm looking for ...the sun was casting a beautiful shadow on it as he was installing it and it was beautiful!

My business is underway and I have my first sale this weekend....my current name is Penny Sue's Nursery and Gardens..but I'm tempted to change it to Penny's Perrenies....since I specialize in perennials....I think its catchy...lemme know what you think...
