My Garden


We have loved having our own home. We love to be able to change and fix things and do basically whatever we want. The problem is that we have a townhouse and so we only have a tiny amount of yard. We really want a yard.


This year, we bought some wildflower seeds and planted them along the side of our townhouse.


These are some of the things we've had blooming! There are some really beautiful flowers out there!


It has also been fun to play around with the great macro setting on my new camera!! It can go up to one centimeter!! It focuses on the flower right below and blurs the background. With these pics that is especially important since we had some men come and paint. They scraped off the paint and lovingly left it for us to clean up. We are waiting until we can stand to damage the flowers because it is all over the flower bed.

Beautiful pictures. Our first home might be a townhouse, too. As long as I have a little fenced yard I should be happy :) !!

I love your flowers! I plan on planting wild flowers next year myself. I also want to plant flowers that will help keep the bugs away from our veggies. Mom
