pictures of the day. again.

i should just title all of my posts pictures of the day.

so the garden is growing and growing! as of this morning, we've got ALL of the plants sprouting. this means:

strawberries
carrots
okra
cucumbers
soy
cayenne
jalapeno

welllll technically the jalapeno leaves didn't survive the last freeze, but the roots are still strong. the cayennes are starting to blossom already...i think i've got four or five coming in.

this is exciting!! mostly because james and i didn't screw up. although i'm not sure how you can screw up throwing seeds in a pile of dirt. but you never know.

it's like giving birth to babies, you're so proud of yourself for creating something so beautiful, and you're proud of your little babies for sprouting out of a hole and making it into the world...but it's so much better, because you can leave these little guys outside, and they raise themselves!!! not to mention, you don't have worry about them until it gets down to 32 degrees. take that, human babies!!!

here they are:

the strawed berries...


carrots....

soy!!


This gardening business is pretty amazing. Everyone should be doing this. Liberate yourself from creepy wax-covered gassed flavlorless store produce!!! From foreign countries with questionable safety standards!!

Also today, I took a drive out to the Wildlife Refuge, and down Tropical Trail to St. Luke's. When I got to St. Luke's, I was lucky enough to go into the church. I love old Southern churches, I really do. And I love the spanish moss that hangs off the old trees in the cemetery. It feels so peaceful. Welllll not so much at the Georgiana cemetery, but at St. Luke's it does.








I feel so lucky to live somewhere so beautiful...although it's easy to find beauty in most places, you just have to open your eyes.
