Crazy Days of Summer Week One: Flowers
Summer is in full swing here in small town Missouri and I couldn’t be more excited. I’m basking in the warmth of the summer sun and gearing up for two months of uninterrupted summer vacation bliss with my husband and children. We’re looking forward to a laid-back summer and have no plans to head out of town. No worries though, there’s so much to see and do right here in our own backyard.
Like getting in touch with nature.
I’ve spent the last few weeks hard at work in my garden; weeding, digging, hoeing, transplanting. I’ve never had a garden of my own and I’ve never really successfully grown anything. So imagine my surprise when my rose bushes produced – wait for it – roses!
They look nothing like the roses you’d find in a flower shop, but the butterflies and bees who frequent my garden don’t seem to mind.
I may never have flower shop-worthy roses in my garden, but that’s more than alright with me. The sun is shinning, the bees are buzzing and these roses are mine. All mine.
