My yard is large and unkempt. We have very little time and yard work rarely makes it to the top of the priority list We bought our house just over two years ago and one of the big selling points was the large yard. We live on a corner and our lot is larger than the other lots in our neighborhood. Somebody once loved these grounds. There are little hidden treasures sprinkled throughout, some of which I haven't even discovered.
Today the rain let up and the sun even graced us with its presence for a while. Olive and I took the opportunity to explore. We found beautiful weeds and stopped to visit little boy blue. Lola and Olive tasted the grass and I snapped these photos with my iPhone.
I'm hoping that over time I will uncover more of the hidden treasures in my secret garden as make time to get out there and start doing more yard work. It was pretty great a few weeks ago when I had the
HedgeHog out on the side yard annihilating a dozen of the overgrown rose bushes while Olive watched from her jumperoo. It's good for little girls to see mommy working a power tool!
I have to say, I am very impressed with the quality of photos my phone takes! None of these photos are touched up in any way.

He came with the house. I couldn't decide if he was creepy or cool. |

Olive LOVES him so he's staying. |

I took this pot out to plant something in but the weeds took over. Boy, did they take over. |

I used to eat the stems when I was little. |
