peace rocks

i was the lucky winner of some peace rocks from the lovely sasa. my beautiful package included six hand painted peace rocks, several christmas cards, a peace rocks calendar for 2010 and a lovely note.

i added a peace rock to my collection of rocks, seashells, candles, lavender and buddha statue that is the centerpiece (now it's the centerpeace) on my kitchen table.

i added another peace rock to gussy up ryan's first bonsai tree. rawkus is peeking out from behind the bonsai tree.

thank you so much sasa for the lovely package of peace!

if you'd like a peace rock be sure to visit sasa's etsy page to purchase your own.

gardening

the past few days we have been working on our little side garden. it started out as a strawberry patch but of course we couldn't stop there. we planted our snow peas there, lemon balm, lavender, and more pansies. it is also the home for one of ryan's bonsai trees during the warmer days.

lavender on the left and lemon balm on the right
sorry for the glow around the little white fence, dunno why it is doing that

lemon balm and strawberries

some delicious strawberries calling my name :)

ryan's first bonsai (surrounded by more strawberry plants) that i got him when we first started dating
(that puts the bonsai around 12-13 years old)

we had planned on doing some gardening today but it rained pretty much all day. hopefully tomorrow we can get it done.
