My youngest daughter Melodey asked if she could take over the planting of our humble garden this year and of course I said ABSOLUTELY! So being “THE” garden planting week of the year, she and I ventured off to Wolf Hill to pick out some flowers to spruce up our yard! Let’s hope she helps with the watering all summer too!!!

Mel with our bounty!

Rebecca at Wolf Hill was ready with a smile to help us check out…thanks Rebecca!!

Wolf Hill is all stocked up and ready to roll for the weekend! So stop on up!

A shout out to my “How much money is in the money jug” winner, Beverly Bernhard, for fulfilling her promise of sending 1/2 of her winnings to the charity of her choice.
Beverly selected Family Promise North Shore Boston and they were very happy to receive her donation.
They do great work and I am thrilled that GMG could help with a small donation to support all that they do for the families they serve.

A lot of vegies and potted flower plants were here for sale. I bought and have planted a lot in my garden.

The schooner near by, sleepily dropping down the tide—the little boat slack-tow’d astern,
The hurrying tumbling waves, quick-broken crests, slapping,
The strata of color’d clouds, the long bar of maroon-tint, away solitary by itself—the spread of purity it lies motionless in,
The horizon’s edge, the flying sea-crow, the fragrance of salt marsh and shore mud;
These became part of that child who went forth every day, and who now goes, and will always go forth every day.
Walt Whitman, from There Was A Child Went Forth.
