Simple Beauty.

The day we drove in the driveway after 4 days of camping. I found a bucket on my porch.



My neighbor Daron had brought back a bucket he had borrowed and tucked inside was a carefully arranged straw nest with 18 eggs in hues of brown, white and blue from his flock of chickens. He owed me the eggs from an earlier trade we made in the spring; but he didn't owe me the charming presentation. I loved it. Simple beauty.

How my garden grows

In an earlier post I mentioned a lily that I discovered. It has bloomed and so I thought I'd post a picture of the pretty pink lily. While I'm at it I also thought I'd share some other views of the plants in my garden. Enjoy!



I knew beets were tasty, but didn't realize how pretty they were!



This mini head of broccoli has, so far, escaped my son's grabby little fingers!



This is a fun jumble of three pots! (I pounded a metal bar down the middle to keep them from toppling over.)
