Running Through the Garden


Every morning, Mike takes the babies out in the stroller so that they can watch him tend the garden. He pulls weeds, picks basil, beans, tomatoes...they love watching him work. 

While running around in the yard, the babies made their way out to the garden last night. The basil is waist high on them. 

Graham is a bare-chested little boy here as his new favorite thing to do is to take his shirt off. 

HAPPY WEEKEND!

What fun - summer, no shirt and perhaps also no shoes! That is bliss.

So glad they get to grow up around a garden - I did and it makes all the difference seeing where everything comes from!! Sweet little ones.

They look like they are growing up . . . so fast.
Shirtless . . . . Longer hair . . . Running though the gardens. What fun they must be!

Love your farmhouse and your gardens! I wish I had been blogging back when the Mrs. and myself built our own house with our own hands--from scratch! I'm now a follower, and looking forward to your posts. If you'd like, take a look at mine at: donj156.blogspot.com Living From The Heart.

Your photos of your children always bring a tear of joy to my eyes.

You capture the wonder of childhood and joy of parenthood in every photo you share with us.

Thank you!

When we move back to the US and have a home in the country, I HAVE to find a house with babies in the garden :)

Hi Trina, I haven't popped in for a while...I've been a very slack blogger of late...and I can't believe how Margaret and Graham have grown! I especially love your post a while back with Graham's little toes peeking out from behind the curtains. Enjoy your summer in the garden with them. Robx
