At the Garden

 Here's a look at one of my summer jobs!  I am working in this amazing garden, clearing and being caretaker for big terraced beds that are currently overgrown.  It's a man's backyard that overlooks Lake Onalaska, where the bike trail and the train tracks run right nearby, and he doesn't have time to keep up with it all.  Breathing in the air and smell of plant life, and walking away covered in dirt and sweat - it's very mentally and physically satisfying.  The body is made for this kind of labor, you know?

Yardley, PA

Over Thanksgiving weekend we went to our aunt and uncle's home in Yardley, PA.  They live near farmland and have a backyard that is super nice for hanging out - lots of big trees, a pond with a swan, large lawn, picnic bench, and patio.  And one of our cousins and his girlfriend brought their two adorable dogs along for the holiday.

Backyard Garden

We have a lovely backyard garden area that we share with our neighbors!  And brainstorms for outdoor dinner parties are under way...
