Walking around the garden last night, I was reminded of how far we’ve come in just a few short years. From a barren, rock filled, super hot-trash-and-glass-and-juniper-filled 1/8 acre to a living, breathing, mini oasis…sometimes it’s easy to forget how much blood, sweat and tears have gone into our little plot.
Walking around the garden last night, though, I was even feeling grateful for the pests and the weeds and going-to-seed patch of grass we have in the front yard.
It’s the little things, right?

It is a lot of work isn’t it. But so worth it. I have to say I don’t ever remember feeling grateful for the pests. I enjoy weeding often, but I don’t like the bugs and slugs. But there isn’t anything better than being in the garden in the evening with a cool wind starting after a hot day.

Love the photos!! Yes, the little things add up to a great life. You should be so proud of your little “oasis.”

Wonderful! What an incredible heritage for your daughter as well.
Maybe I ask what variety of peas you have growing? Your flowers are like mine, I think we may be growing the same heirloom snap peas. 🙂
