Another fun aspect of gardening is unexpected surprises.  
Being an
organic gardener I am always excited to find slippery frogs,
shy toads, speedy gnutes , bird nests, turtles,
or maybe even a
big fat juicy worm.

We hope you will share some of your pleasant  
or possibly not so pleasant surprises with us.
The "FUN" of Gardening
& The "Surprises" that make you jump!
Toad
– Each morning I walk
about my garden checking
it out.    When I looked
down inside a raised bed I
found this little toad
camouflaged in the soil
catching June Bugs.
“Good job little toad, keep
up the good work!”

Little Ones
I have found some nests
this year in my garden,
most of them are Cardinal's
nests.  It is exciting to see
your gardens become a
home for all things in
nature.  Yes, even the
snakes!

Shaggy
– Oh, my daughter Donelle
"Duchess" loves dogs!  
She came home and
somehow talked us into
adopting Shaggy from the
neighborhood. She's been
a good dog, she'll go
wherever I am working and
watch.  I'm just thankful
she stays OUT of the beds!
