In the spring I weeded and raked up a corner of the yard that had once been a shade garden. The trees that shaded it have been cut back and the area was cleared out. It's a very large space. I thought it would just be nice to throw a bunch of seeds down and let nature have it. I've thought it lovely all summer. There has been tiny white flowers, yellow flowers, large fox tails, lots of huge "weeds". The kids helped me scatter zinnia and Mexican sunflower seeds (two of my very favorites). They have been just beautiful. Jed and Evangeline have been so proud to watch the seeds they planted grow. There have been baby deer bedding down in the garden, lots of birds and butterflies too. We call it our weed garden. Kyle never learned to love it. It may become something else next year, but this year I've loved it just as it is.
