The roses in front of our home are exploding with life and color. They bring us such joy in their wildness and unpredictability. Fast growing, they'd quickly take over our front sidewalk if we didn't keep them trimmed.
Neighbors gave us this ceramic"Dios Bendiga este hogar" (God bless this home) sign a year or two ago. Not only is it beautiful but I love the sound it makes when a breeze taps it against the wooden fence. Jess planted these flowers this weekend in honor of my 37th birthday. Hopefully they'll have better luck than any of the other plants placed in this window box over the years!
My birthday present...an herb garden featuring chives, cilantro, thyme, rosemary & basil!
Strawberry buds forming create anticipation of a not too distant harvest!
Last year we planted Thai basil, a gift from a neighbor, and it thrived in this spot. We are hopeful for this sweet basil to have similar success. I love being able to walk outside and pluck a vegetable or herb from the 'garden' in order to enhance a meal. Wish we had more space to grow our favorites!
