I love Treasures!

My idea of a treasure is unconventional...a friendly gesture, a captured moment, beauty just lurking. These things, I pause to appreciate and feel enriched by every day. This blog will be a trove of treasures we choose to share with each other!Please join me in the pursuit of everyday treasure!

My Garden Treasure


I enjoyed gardening with my family these past two days! The weather was perfect. Nice and sunny, but cool enough not to burn seedlings. We weren't alone!! It was a regular garden party! Our dog sat in the shade with a smile on his face. Birds darted in and out. A squirrel sat on the fence wondering what would happen to his buried treasures as we dug them up. There was a giant dragonfly watching from the wall, Ladybugs munching on aphids, tons of earthworms worked to make my soil healthy, bees were buzzy and we even found some caterpillars!
We planted Zucchini, heirloom tomatoes, pink beets, rainbow chard, kale, lettuce, leeks, blueberries and cilantro. We transplanted lambs ears, basil, spinach, mesculin lettuce, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower and flat leaf parsley.
I can't wait to harvest!
My hands are a mess, but I wouldn't trade that feeling of earth between my fingers for a pair of gloves.
