For many years, the children and I have been hoping to create our own shared nature scrapbook. Ideally, we dreamt it would be a collaboration of journal entries, illustrations, observations, narrations, photographs, and discoveries, along with the related poetry, literature, and great works of art that we love. Procrastination has always prevented the project--that is, until now.
Here at the "Cottage Garden" we hope to share our love of nature and the outdoors with you, our dear friends!
What a wonderful idea!
Is this your house? It looks like a storybook house.

Thank you so much, Louise! No, this is a thatched playhouse from a museum we visited. It truly is right out of the pages of Beatrix Potter or Kate Greenaway and looks like a full-size cottage next to the baby!

I just LOVE foxglove!

Thanks Tina! I am really excietd. If there is a nice weekend in September I should have a house warming but it has to be outside because clearly it isn't a huge place to entertain!
