The leaf gardens late May 2008
I'll let Joey tell you about how the leaf gardens came about...
The second leaf will be Joey's tomato patch.
A third leaf will tuck in at the top of these too (some day).
The Leaf Gardens - by Joey
Okay. I just assumed that vegetable gardens were rectangular. Rows of this and rows of that. When Bernie started digging a gaping hole in the yard shaped like a curved teardrop, I gently asked what he was doing. I said, "Aren't you going to dig a square?" "No," he said, "Why should it be square?" and I said, "because you need rows to walk on while you're weeding." "No," he said, "You can just reach in." So I pleaded, "How about just one row up the middle and you can curve it too?" And then I stomped up the middle to show him what I meant. There was a pause. "Coooool !!!" he said, "It looks like a LEAF!" And that is how our leaf gardens came to be. I love them!

Trillium May 2008
While scything at the edge of the woods I saw this great plant. " Joey, look what I found. What is it?" She knew what it was right away, "Trillium". I hope the wetness doesn't hurt it.

April: Spring clean-up
Raking around Babydog's dogwood tree.
Moving brush.
The first sign of Spring.
Opening up the east side.
Fire Swirl filled with ice.
