Beautiful

The things I am growing seem so exceptionally beautiful to me. I have never had my own garden and to see everything come up is surreal. This pic is a couple weeks old but it is our bed of garlic and onions and they look even better now. Since then we have added some tomatoes but it has been so cold and wet I am crossing my fingers they do well. We have got everything in the ground now so please wait for more pictures.

Our potatoes are thriving, I can barely keep up with adding those extra layers of dirt! If nothing else grows I am pretty sure we will have potatoes (knocking on the wood box they live in). We tried to not do too much because both of us grew up without gardening. Well Mr. Bunny's dad did grow tomatoes in buckets... Still new to us. Still we may have done too much; we'll see. He dug me a pumpkin patch for sugar pumpkins and we have blueberries, blackberries and strawberries being used for the hedging in front of the house. Like I said there will be a lot more pictures. Never mind all our vegetables and if the sun makes an appearance we will be more confident in their continued growth. (Plus we may have planted a little too early, shh.)

The thing that makes me chuckle inside the most is I come from a long line of farmers. My dad spent some time on a farm growing up, my great grandparents were all farmers. Well the Polish great grandparents were migrant farmers but the rest of my family had acreage and that's how they made their living for generations. I here my grandmother telling me her stories in my head, or find that google confirms something her or my dad says. It's weird it just feels like it's part of me. Like some sort of farmer gene? I think that must be a real thing I swear!

On another note I haven't been able to craft much. BUT there is a stellar reason...
I was practicing driving...
because my road test was this past Saturday...
and I PASSED!!!!

This past year seems surreal, in the last twelve months we bought a home, Thing 3 started school, I completed a year of school and I got my license. I know that list is all backwards but it's the way it is. After all our struggles we are sitting here with our garden coming in outside and summer vacation on the horizon. I will be thirty at the end of it and I can't help but pat myself on the back. Mr. Bunny and I got through so much together and now we are making serious headway forward. How incredible!
