I'm not sure that it's possible to grow a green thumb, but I feel like I am working on one. Here are a few pictures from our front flower bed. I have always LOVED hydrangeas...they ARE my favorite flower and I think they have even won Alec over as well. Here are our hydrangea plants in half there glory (this picture was taken a week ago and they are much prettier now).




Here is my sweet little puppy sunbathing in the backyard.

Our first tomato

Squash plant

All different types of pepper plants

Asparagus, onions, and carrots
I haven't contributed much to Alec's vegetable garden except for the corn plant...I love corn and I thought it looked so cute when it was little...now, not so cute but I can't wait until we get some delicious corn to eat!


My wonderful husband installed a ceiling fan on our back patio. I love it! One of my favorite things to do during the summer is to sit on our patio and read a book so the fan has definitely made that more enjoyable! Now if only we had misters around our patio I'd feel like I'm in Arizona.
