There Are Busy Bees in My Garden Today

With the flowers in full bloom, the bees are busy gathering pollen in my backyard. So busy they are, gathering so much pollen they look like me running in the store determined to only buy a “few things” so I forgo the cart. In theory, I only get what I can carry that way I

dirt rich and cash poor {making the most out of what you have}

Since we’ve added a couple of flower beds around our pool, we have a lot of rich dirt just needing some plants, but unless you hit the sales, buying plants and flowers for large areas is a little pricey. Do you ever wish you could just go out and blow your whole budget in one
