Turning our house into a home...

Kami, Kami, quite contrary, How does your garden grow?

...with silver bells, and cockle shells, and pretty maids all in a row. Isn't this a cute little retro picture. I was reading about this cute little nursery rhyme, and apparently it has some strange roots with the Catholic church and one line may be about a former Queen of Scotland whose husband cheated on her. Read about it here...

Tray 1 overview. Isn't it amazing what a difference a day makes?

I am so excited to get this stuff planted in the ground at the house. We can't really plant until the middle of May, but at least we can start getting the ground ready when we move in. Then, by the time we're done preparing the soil, it will be time to plant. Yay!

We were supposed to do the walk-through with the builder today, but we had to reschedule because the plumbers couldn't get the sink in by this afternoon and the cleaners still need to do their thing. We'll do the walk-through on either Wednesday of Thursday.
