owen plants a garden

... and redecorates the patio. this morning we went out into our "great outdoors" and owen noticed i had our old big round patio table behind the weber and said "mama--put the table here." and really, it seemed like a good idea. so i dragged it out and slid our bench over and it made a lovely coffee table and all that was missing was a few pots of herbs. so i told owen "now we need some soil and herbs." so he sang "soil and herbs" for the rest of the morning until we headed out to get some gardening supplies.

here we are checking out with (sorry sweetie--couldn't resist) some new pillows and gardening gloves to go with our soil and herbs:

and watering:and now it's so cozy out there that i'm nearly inspired to do some gardening at night. i think i'll be content with this bit of nostalgia and watch some foodtv instead to see if there's anything inspirational to do with all our herbs.
