"You can bury a lot of troubles digging in the dirt."

le'jardin
Here it is my garden once again. I suppose it is a lifeline of sorts for me. I go there every day and there is always something that draws me there again on the next day and the next…. It is a source of creativity and a sense of tomorrow. Anyway, I just wanted to share my latest little DIY project (my garden is a totally DIY project except for the much appreciated occasional muscle from my four sons – that makes it even more special). I had it in my mind to do a little Cajun/French jardin patch kind of thing. Something so very simple and spontaneous, something that was only meant to bring joy and was put in almost recklessly and certainly mindlessly. I did have to leave the house to do this, I am sorry to say. My most rewarding projects are with found objects and a $0 outlay; this is something my mother always did and I aspire to do as often as I can. I had to go to Big K and I found a great deal on dirt – 40 pounds for $1.77. Then, I stopped at the local garden center and found annuals half price – yea! I made the little bed with old bricks left over from a fence, situated the cheap as dirt soil, and lovingly gave my little half priced flora a snug home till the first frost. The first thing I did this morning was walk outside to see my handiwork and, you guessed it, I was happy.
Till next time,
p.s.
