A Planting I Will Go. . .

I love playing in the dirt and in the yard.  I have a beautiful trellis that my hubby gave me one Mother's day and each year we plant sweet potato vine to run on it.  I went yesterday and picked up my sweet potato vine and a Gerber Daisy.  I love the garden shop.  I potted my daisy in a new pot for my front porch to go with my huge Geranium.  
Last night we had grilled chicken and I was fixing a marinade for it, this is a garlic and wine marinade.  I noticed my garlic was sprouting,  well I decided I would try and grow some garlic.   It already had a little green shoot so I filled a pot with some potting soil and stuck my little toe of garlic in the dirt.   I left a little bit of the green shoot sticking out of the soil.  Below are my pictures.  I used a good size pot so there would be room to grow some delicious garlic. I have never done this so I will keep you posted on how it grows.  We tried a few years ago to grow garlic in the garden but it did not do anything.   I hope this works.

This is my sweet potato vine from a year ago.

What a beautiful day. . .

Had such a wonderful day today.  Dear hubby and I spent the morning working in the yard.  We dug up some old things out of the yard and planted some new.  Cleaned the weeds out of our flower beds.  A beautiful morning.  We fixed our new bird feeder on it's pole with fresh bird food and suet bricks.  All the birds were out chirping and singing and flitting about.  We planted a new trumpet vine on the side of our house and planted some Day Lillies in the front flower bed.   It was so pretty out I hated to go in when we were through.
The boys had a fun day at the baseball field today too.  It was very relaxed and they both got some batting practice and field practice.  I got to spend some time with a friend while the kids were playing.  I love watching the boys play ball.  It does not matter what kind of ball, I just enjoy watching them play.  It was great being outside on this glorious day enjoying our many blessings.  What a great day!!
