My little garden, and tiny little feet.

Well today was a frustrating day for me. My son as of late has become very difficult to deal with. I do not know what is going on growing pains I guess. But to top it all off today I had my niece and nephew over to play and was enjoying the break for a little bit when my niece came in and told me that Nehemiah and Jacob were walking in the flowers, "I think they think it is grass" she said. So I go out to find most of my flowers trampled to the ground. Why do I even try. I clean my house just so I can clean it again five minutes later I try and make my yard nice just so all my hard work can be trampled under foot by two little monsters, as cute as they may be. Tonight I am feeling very much a failure as a mother and a home maker. And being very tired does not help me much in my self loathing. I love my kids to bits but I have to say some days I wouldn't mind if they were able to go to grandmas for the day:). But tomorrow is another day and I have every intention of getting up and trying again....I just wish I didn't have to.

My little Garden.





So I have been trying to plant a garden in my back yard. Mostly flowers right now. I have been working my butt off trying to make everything look beautiful but have not been as successful as I had hoped I would be. But I have gotten some very lovely flowers to grow, so I thought I would post them on my blog. I come from a family of awesome gardeners, My Dad is probably the best that I know, and my sister Cat is right up there with him. Hank is very good as well. I love to garden but just can't seem to get the hang of it as well as they all have but I am not going to give up I have two joys in life besides my family of course and that is my home and my yard. I strive to make them nice and love to be in them when they are. I still have a long way to go with both of them but even longer with my yard. Any way here are some pictures of some of my small triumphs.
