Cutting Garden

Having a cutting garden so I could fill my house with fresh flowers is one of those things that I may do in my empty nest years. But, let’s be honest – it was not even remotely in the cards during the thick of my parenting years. Lucky for us, our local farm has a field filled with flowers and we got to cut some as part of our weekly CSA pick-up.

How fun is that? Very summery!
