Now I know in this current economic climate I am privileged to be able to be a SAHM but I often have big grumbles about my house. I live in a mediocre 3 bed 100 year old semi. Don't get me wrong it is a lovely house with lots of period features and it was perfect for the two of us when we bought it six years ago but now we are four it is cramped. The main reason we bought it though was the garden; 100+ foot long which gives us space & a good degree of privacy. I am not a gardener though but hubby has grown a variety of vegetables. And me? I plant flowers with the children.

Today I have been feeling down about family things but the sun is shining, the kids are happy and healthy and I have alot to be grateful for, right here at home.
Earlier I went to the end of my garden with 'E' to see what was happening.
We found lots of beautiful things to look at,
 |
| Somewhere on there is a very happy bee. |
 |
| 9 foot tall sunflowers! |
to pick & smell,
 |
| Sweet Peas |
and to eat.
 |
| Juicy & sweet strawberries. |
So today if I get down about anything again I will look out of my back door and smile. I am very lucky to have Mother Nature's work just a few steps away.
