Anyway, I got to the part where I had painted the lid and I was ready to move on to assembling the whole thing.. Lookin’ good, lid!

my post about growing grapes.a few weeks ago, here’s an update for you: The grapes are growing!

OK, but seriously, in all honesty the garden isn’t all charming rustic barrel planters and cute stepping stone filled herb gardens.Most of the time, it actually looks like this.. Toys and tools everywhere!Just like the indoor living room.

🙂 This is still a huge win for us this year though because everything we planted is growing so well and the weeds are not!.If we aren’t in the garden, you can usually find us in our shady backyard next to the creek, hanging out in some old adirondack chairs and enjoying watching the fields around us grow..

Reactivate it to view this content.. And that’s pretty much how we get things in summer-mode around here!.That may come in handy!I have seen some mighty impressive bookshelves out there in internet-land in my day.

Really pretty ones that are perfectly arranged and perfectly styled.I’ve even seen some really impressive tutorials on how to “get the look” of these bookshelves and the people who wrote them have always been so talented and so helpful with all of their great advice.

But honestly, those “how to style your shelves” articles always make my head spin.It starts off innocently enough with them telling me to start with a few books, or larger objects, or blue things, or whatever.
