el jardin

We've been outside all day! My hair-do would prove the humidity level and high winds, but I've somehow misplaced that picture... We did, however, take several pictures of our big project- the garden! We got a truck load of compost today from the city of Bentonville. Through the process of finding the composting facility we met a really nice guy named Jerry who told us all about everything (except how to actually find the composting facility). He gave us some helpful information about a vacant lot on 5th Street that is VERY appealing. More to come on that "project."

For now, check out these pictures of today's activities (taken from my camera phone):

Garden Day 1


Jake Unloading Compost


Garden Treasures- stuff we found hibernating in the weeds! Including, but of course not limited to: paint brush, halloween jack-o-lanter (probably from a string of lights), pottery sherds (hooray! flashbacks to Jordan!!), plastic cups, energy drink bottle, birdhouse, and a piece of carpet! For fear of decomposition issues, we removed these items.
