I had a great visit with my mom while Andrew was away.
Mom
Balsley visited me this last week and has been a terrific blessing! She helped me get land cleared for our garden, among many many other things. Our backyard is grass and then a very dense
hodge podge of flowering plants. I was feeling more than overwhelmed at the prospect of clearing the area for the garden! (Not to mention, I could not physically do it all.) Here is the results:
I really wish I had a "before" picture for those of you that haven't made it out here, but oh well. Take my word for it, there were plants everywhere! The plants left here in the back ground of this picture are
raspberry bushes. We also found a random little rhubarb planted. I am excited to try my hand at gardening, (thanks to Sara and Jonathan and the gardening seeds/tools for Christmas) and nervous!
Mom also made me a cake and helped us celebrate my birthday. It was a blast to actually have family around on my birthday.

Yay for gardening! You look beautiful, and I'm glad you had family with you on your birthday!
I can't believe you're over half way!!! Wild!
You look wonderful, Alissa. You have a beautiful glow!! That looks like a great garden. If I don't forget, I have some cauliflower starts that I will send home with Andrew. That birthday cake looks good enough to eat!! We had angel cake yesterday, in a fruit trifle. Yum!
