we sure are gonna miss our yard!

the fire pit we built & made MANY a smore's by

the big tree that curtis carved our family name into

the spot where jaden would dig to china (for as long as a half hour, sometimes)


the crazy, uneven sidewalks that the girls spent hours, upon hours, drawing with sidewalk chalk


and especially our flowerbed!

it's looking so good now - more blooms popping out & surprising us each day


these just came out last week - late bloomers, i guess

and look at the tall one on the right - i kept wondering if my mom was crazy....those weed looking plants all around the perimeter of the flower bed didn't really ever look like flowers....i thought maybe she didn't know as much as she thought she did, and we were just letting weeds grow to be 5-6 feet tall ~lol~

i'll never doubt her again! cause this morning, the tallest one had an open bloom.....it's literally almost as tall as me (& i'm 6 foot tall!)

we didn't think to ask our new landlord if he'd b okay with us planting a flowerbed or a fire pit yet.....but we've started saving seeds from this flowerbed, just in case we are allowed to start a new one next spring

and i can't promise they'll survive (cause of my black thumb & all), but these 3 are coming with me!
the pink petunia (that keeps on blooming & blooming), the white queen anne's lace & there's another little small plant - not sure what it is & it's not flowering now/yet.....these 3 were mother's day gifts, from my kiddos & they'll be moving along with us ;0)

i'm sure we will get into plenty of fun things in our new yard - new surroundings, new areas to explore.....not quite as big & roomy, but i think it'll be just right for our family ;0)
