Lovely Lavender

I am so excited to have access to lavender this year. There is a patch growing in the community herb garden. I really want to make lavender perfume with the girls and lavender lemonade for everyone. I've also thought about making some of these lavender wands - but the lavender patch is only so big. I think I may start another patch next year so I can do all of this.

More colour for the garden

The heat wave finally broke and we are getting some much needed rain. However that means helping the kids find things to do indoors. For ages I have wanted to try this project and we happened to still have some of the rocks we scavenged for the garden in the back of the van. The project was addictive. We all could have done a few more and have plans to do another round. These rocks will be added to our garden space to mark the paths.

The kids also worked on their garden signs for the fairy garden and the wildflower patch. Emily wants to make one for the blueberry bush as well.
Apparently we think the garden could use a bit more colour.

Windchimes

The kids would love to make these.
We'll have to check the garden and the sumacs at the park to see if there are any branches we could use. A small version would be lovely in the kid's fairy garden.
