it takes a village
Mom has been wishing, hoping and dreaming about a garden for a long time now, and this last month we started putting it in a little bit at a time. Here is what it looked like on September 23rd:
Every morning we get out bright and early to move compost, build beds and plant seeds.
And ride in the wagon, of course.
Usually we're outside when the kids are waiting on the school bus, and since I'm their favorite they all take turns pushing me around the yard, carrying me, and singing to me. Do you see that stump in the background? That's part of the old tree. Mom and Dad put it out there so that the kid have someplace to sit and put their backpacks up.
around the front! Kelsea runs and dances with us
then around the side! When they're off to school Mom puts me in the mei tai so I can watch her work and take my nap when I'm ready. And day by day, we've gotten it done, so that today a garden sits beside the house, growing all sorts of yummy things for us to eat.

Today we also brought home my placenta tree (finally!) to be planted Thursday. It's a Lula avocado, since that is one of my favorite foods and this variety fruits on my birth month. So next year I'll be eating avocados from my very own tree!
