For the last four days I have been working in the yard -- gardening and planting a meadow.
Although I live in the suburbs I have a large yard that is divided into two sections -- one that is close to the house and gets a lot of use -- and one that is farther back and doesn't "do" too much.
This year I decided to put that back section to work!
I am turning it into a meadow -- a field of wildflowers. I have tilled the land and planted 6 pounds of wildflower seeds (that's a lot!)
I dream of living in "the country" but have no plans to move there just yet -- so instead, I am bringing "the country" to me...

I realized my dream 18 months ago
Moved back to my homeplace.
Built a small cottate way off the main road. Love it. Creating my gardens, my little adopted dog and One Woman back at the edge of the woods.
Ohhhhh, your one-woman cottage with garden and dog sounds just lovely! For right now I am still working on making my suburban house as much of a "cottage in the country" as I can. Luckily I have an abundance of wildlife here which helps. Also, I am may work on a garden this summer... :)
