SIMPLY CREATE GIVEAWAY IS STILL GOING ON….SCROLL DOWN FOR THE POST
I used to try to get some alone time in the morning before anyone else woke up…Big Brother never lets that happen. Instead of being grumpy about it (which I was) I am learning to enjoy our early mornings together. Often we are out in the field as the sun rises – watering the garden. I know one day he’ll be gone and I’ll be up with the sun watering the garden and I’ll miss my little morning buddy. I wonder if he’ll always be an early riser? Will he water the garden with me as a teenager? I think I would surely love that.

Gardening has become a family activity and joy for us. The boys love digging and planting…and eating. I love all that the boys have learned from gardening…lessons beyond how a seed becomes a plant.
Have you heard about Kim’s Kinder Gardens? It is a gardening contest with kids!
This is what Kim wrote about it:
“This contest will be a way for us to purposely plan a way to involve kids in the garden. Whether it be giving kids their own raised bed to plant or helping them to grow a sunflower house. You can design for your own kids, your grand kids or even a garden space for the neighborhood children…any kids that would love to learn to garden with a caring adult!
So start thinking about some creative ways to include children in the garden. Make it fun, make it edible, make it all theirs, and get ready to share!”
Isn’t that a great idea! I am so honored and thrilled to be serving as one of the judges.
You don’t need a garden to participate…visit Kim’s blog & the Kinder Gardens Contest Details to find out more and to see what others are doing!
On a side note, Kim has a llama – I am not sure why that is so funny and cool to me. At least visit her blog to see that!
Kim just reminded me about her camel…how did I forget that? A Camel and llama…she takes some super funny pictures of the camel…go see him too!

the inadvertent farmer - LOL…usually people comment on the camel! The llamas will be glad that for once they caught someone’s eye…or funny bone!
We are lucky to have you as a judge…thanks!
Oh and yes you will miss him. Even though I still have little ones at home I surely miss the big ones…sigh. Kim
Rebekah Jean - Love the picture of your boy! It’s also way cool that she has a llama and camel; there are some people down the road from us who have llamas but not a camel! Amazing!
and that contest is an amazing idea! I have great memories of working with my mom in the garden.
Jodi - We are big gardeners. Although my 2 babies are still little we are going to participate! Thanks for the info again. I just have to say that your blog is truly inspirational.
rachel denbow - Ashley,
Are you having any problems with birds getting to your berries? I’ve never gotten so angry at nature so quickly as when I saw what those squirrels and birds had done to our garden!
Brandi - I just found your site via The Inadvertent Farmer…love it! I, too, am an Oklahoman. Your kids are precious!
maegan - How fun. Those are surely sweet mornings to be treasured. I used to get so upset in the mornings also….didn’t matter what time I woke up- the kids would somehow know I was awake- and they’d be up too.
Julie - My oldest always gets up early. When he was younger I dreaded it but at 7 it is great! It’s our special time together and I know I will blink and he’ll be grown. Now my 1st daughter loves to sleep in…just like her mama and I love that too!
