our garden

Gratuitous garden shots. The pollen has been kicking my ass, as it does every year, but I can still enjoy the garden and all it's new blooms.

There's D, in all his garden glory.

I bought this bakers twine from Divine Twine, in yellow, for Sun's Valentine's Day party favors. I was wondering how else I would use this large spool of left over twine. Well, of course, thanks to D who used it to tie up some homegrown oregano for drying, so cute!

Okay, after some minimal searching I found that Red Envelope has these japanese bells, 4 bells for $35, which includes a green owl, a brown owl, a green bird with upturned tail and a blue dove.

I've seen these insanely cute japanese bells on a few sites, so unfortunately for us, they are temporarily sold out...but keep checking The Gardener.
