This is our bristlecone pine tree, Esmerelda, with Emma's birthday deer in the background.
This is our garden, which grew lettuce, yellow squash, wildflowers, and potatoes very nicely. Note it is surrounded by free mulch from the city, the very same kind that I spent several hours on my birthday shoveling (much to Dad's delight) on to another part of our yard. It is amazing how close the apple falls. Guess what the black thing in the corner is...you bet, a composter (bought from the city, not handmade. I am making a birdbath out of old scrap metal though).
Emma, you are your own little girl, aren't you? Just beautiful. You've inspired much in that home. You seem to me very much a part of your parents' "settling", don't you think?
ReplyDeleteYou have a very lovely daughter and backyard. But perhaps Emma would prefer not being grouped with free mulch. Emma is delightfully cute. Your backyard is stunning in a different way. I'm sure Dad does get a big kick seeing you shovel mulch around of your own free will! MDW
