Dutch practice: I get asked, does it take a lot of water to maintain my garden. I pay $9 per month over the BASE fee for water. I think the beauty is a good value.

Dutch practice:” In the evening, before I go to bed, I like to sit in my garden and listen to the crickets.”

Daily Dutch practice, to become more comfortable speaking the language. “Almost every morning in the summer, I enjoy strawberries from my garden.”

I hope you can hear the crickets. My front garden. This brings me a stupid amount of joy.

I made a bird bath in my clay studio, put it in my new garden, and this morning, for the first time, I caught this!!!
