garden, etc.

our picturesque money-saver. i must say, i don't think many people can boast that their clothesline is idyllic-looking.

 i don't know what half the flowers around here are, but this one sure is pretty.

 beating back the woods while ransom drinks cold water and looks on

 josh gave ransom quite the haircut. i tried not to pitch a royal fit, but i failed. yes, i am one of those women who wails about her baby boy's curly locks heartlessly cut off.

 wild garlic growing

 a flower on my tomato plant! josh says we should pinch it off so that the plant will get bigger but i can't bring myself to do it.

the teeny tiny garden we've grown rather fond of.

the sun has been blazing lately and the tomato plants have been rather wilty.

 the adorable rake charity picked up for ransom.

 my lovely sister who takes excellent care of the littles.

that's all for now.
