gardens

tonight i went with my mom on a cute little

garden tour !

there are some fantastic gardens in my neighborhood.

i was fascinated.

i have started noticing gardens more lately

because my good friend nate

works for the temple square gardens

and every time i am with him he talks about gardening

and points out cool flowers and plants.

he is so smart about it all and i love it.

he gets so excited about it too, which i also love.

nate is the best :)

but walking around in all the gorgeous gardens tonight

and hearing the cute old ladies talk about their flowers

made me want to become one of those old women

that spends all her time taking care of her garden.

the kind that wears a huge sun hat with a large ribbon on it

and every color imaginable in my yard.

i would know all the names of them, too.

my husband would bring us lemonade after he mowed the lawn

and we'd sit on the porch swing and admire our work.

then the grandkids would come over and help us

pick the tomatoes and zucchini

and after dinner we'd sit on a blanket

and eat strawberries and raspberries we'd just picked.

he he he. . . .
