An Afternoon on the Islande of La Grande Jatte



Ah, George Seurat, thanks for giving us a painting so iconic that it has even been reproduced in the form of a topiary garden. How many paintings have you had the pleasure of strolling through? Clinton and I had heard about this little topiary garden here in Columbus a while ago, but only just barely got around to going to visit it. Quite a unique little park. Of course we had a lovely time, and Clint even talked me into throwing the frisbee around with him. Marriage certainly makes you do strange things sometimes! :)




Pretty Maids all in a Row

Everyday I go around the house humming, singing, or whistling the nursery rhyme "Mary, Mary quite contrary how does your garden grow? With silver bells and cockle shells and pretty maids all in a row." Why is this? Because its gardening season silly! And I know I just blogged about our spring crops we planted, but I had to update because as of yesterday we very lovingly finished planting the rest of our garden. And they just look so cute out there. Clint and I have really got into the gardening spirit this year, and have been reading books galore and are very excited to watch these little plants grow! I have been so into the whole gardening theme, I decided to re-read my old favorite childhood book, The Secret Garden. I wish I had a secret garden like Mary! But this garden is pretty good too.


Clint made all the trellises and everything! He is such a good little hard worker!
