Southern Renewal

Finally, as you can see by the spring countdown calendar – SPRING has officially arrived! Nothing says spring to me more than preparing the garden. I needed a little inspiration today, so I looked back at some of my garden pics from last year:

    Love your garden. My FIL always has one, and DH is thinking about one but we really don’t have a good spot (and we have deer).

    Thanks for the recipe too. Sounds delicious.

    I hope you’ll drop by AtticMag to see Jane’s Met Monday post.
