Saturday was garden clean-up at our house. It's always a chore I don't enjoy because I see all my beloved plants (who were somewhat neglected this year) dying or going to sleep - and then I know what's coming for the rest of us. (It rhymes with NO.)
However, I usually get a last little thrill with the last of the flowers that have braved the cool nights and the fall breezes. (Doesn't that sound so romantic.....in actual fact the winds have been wicked.)
So as I do each year - I clip off the last bouquet and bring it in and then the clean-up begins. Mad a lot easier and more funner (not a word but it certainly should be!) in the company of my two munchkins. Even Daddy got on board so we made huge progress in short time.
Ergo......mama was happy.
Next day we went for a little drive in the country and stopped a bit.
And a certain little somone thought a fencing lesson was on the program.
And another little somone would have nothing to do with that idea.
A little further down the road we came upon a little farm. In fact the whole area grows all different kinds of cabbages.
I have always loved cabbages - especially the kind that remind me of where fairies live.
That's a little of what's going on in my little corner of the world. Link up and share your story. Or if you're visiting - pop into the other sites below.
It's a fascinating world out there.
Take a peek!
Hi, I'm Wanda. I am a happy woman, wife to Danny for...oh....lots a years and finally Mom to THE most adorable little girl from Hunan, China - Dahlia. And now we have been blessed again with another daughter, Milana, from Zhejiang, China. (The 2 best things I've ever done!)
We live in the Montreal area. After a loooonnngg wait for Dahlia's little sister Milana (pronounced - Mee-lana, like banana), we finally brought her home in August 2009. Dahlia came to us in Nov 2004 (at 20 months of age)and a year later we began the application for another baby - at the time the waiting period was around 8 months. Almost 4 years later (say what!?!)we, at last, brought Milana home.
This began as the story of our journey to bring Milana home and life with her big sister, Dahlia. It now continues as we live as a family of four!

A delightful weekend. Love the flowers,beautiful cabbages and your wonderful daughters. Most our children have never seen snow and think it would be wonderful if it snowed where we live (I try to explain that snow is not all good).
Looks like a lovely time, great pics of it all! :-)
What a fun weekend! Those cabbages are massive!! Love their outfits, such girly girls!
Oh my goodness Wanda!!!! I love your last bouquet before the winter! It is so very, very sensational. The girls are just as cute as can be. I've missed you. So happy to see you today.
