I Heart John's Gardens

Marrying me nearly six years ago has not been an easy adjustment for John. I already had six kids when we met, and during the course of our brief marriage we have added four more rambunctious boys to our brood. That being said, John often says that being a father isn't nearly as challenging as being a husband. Tells you that I may be a little high-maintenance.

Anyway, my point is that everybody needs a release from their every day responsibilities, and John's happens to be gardening. Over the course of the almost four years we've lived here in Mexico, John has planted iris gardens, vegetable gardens, grape vines, a winter wheat field, an herb garden, a stunning gladiola garden, trees throughout the property, pots filled with colorful annuals and vines spilling over the sides, melon patches, tomato and cucumber vines and much, much more.

My all-time favorite garden of John's, though, is the "strawberry field". It's not really a field, just a small patch of ground to the left of our home, but we just love to say the "strawberry field". And even though it's only mid-April, look what it's already producing....

I'm in love with our strawberry field! Thank you, John, for all of the work you do in our gardens. Our home is beautiful and our harvest is plentiful because of your efforts! :)

P.S. My sister and I are finally getting skinnier!
See how we're doing it HERE! :)
