Seeds And Such...

 Take one, Leave one...Seeds and Trinkets

This trinket box on Trenton Avenue in Point Pleasant, NJ is a miniature exchange station,

similar to the little "free libraries" you see.

Community driven, where individuals exchange small items like pins, stickers, seeds,

postcards, book markers, shells, sea glass, small paintings and so much more.

Let your imagination be your guide!

I found this on Instagram, I also received a few messages from friends...

"have you seen this"?

Mackenzie is the keeper of the box.

- I really loved the way it was decorated -

 I left 3 of my decorated shells in exchange for 

these 2 items...orange sunflower seeds and a small bottle of lavender driftwood scented oil.

This is a thing, you know...if you are curious about the whole thing,

Home Is Where The Work Is...

The hubs has finally finished getting the front yard spring ready...

and it is looking so beautiful. 

The grass came up nice and green with few weeds.

All of the gardens have been edged beautifully, 

weeded and new mulch had been laid in every garden.

We are missing one Azalea going up the driveway.

We have one an extra, in the same color, in the back yard that we are going to move into the bare spot.

The pictures above and below are the gardens up by the front door.

These are Daylilies.

Walking around the backyard, it too needs a bit of work.

The Knockout Roses have a lot of buds.

The Dill from last year is starting to reappear.

There are a lot of these Cornflowers, seeds that I planted last year and have come back this year.

The Viburnum is still in bloom.

We have a lot of these, they form a nice border and a pretty privacy screen by the pool.

Planting the perennial flowers in the front gardens...thats on the agenda for next week.

I checked on the swans today, no babies yet!
