You've inspired me, Laura. I will look into xeriscaping for my main flower bed. For a while, I had native perennials (wildflowers) going nicely in there, but they require more water than I can give them, and they bloom early and fast, so the colorful period is short. I will see what I can find.

There are sooooo many possibilities with paper crafting. I want to do more than I've done.

I actually have a blow torch. Not sure why. 🤷‍♀️

Your miniatures are magnificent, and so are your flowers. Go, you!

That is a wonderful collage--and an even better garden! Cheers to you (and inspiration to me)!

Wowzer, that is gorgeous! Okay, I can definitely do better on my flower bed. Maybe. I've got water issues, too.

I know! Elsewhere, one plant feeds a neighborhood, but here I can't get enough. Harvesting is fun! Processing all that I harvest is a little less fun, but only a little. #kidlitchat

Great idea! I have crafty friends who come camping at my house in the summer. Maybe we'll give this a go. Thanks for the idea and tip! #kidlitchat

And then there are the berry beds and the orchard! I'm a garden glutton. #kidlitchat

Ohmygoodness, any veg I can grow in Alaska, and some I can't, which are in the greenhouse! Lots of greens, rutabagas, turnips, beets, broccoli, peas, beans, tomatoes, mini melons. I have plant half a dozen zucchini plants to get many zucs, though! #kidlitchat

Someday, I'm gonna give acrylic pouring a try! #kidlitchat

Superfun! Go, you! #kidlitchat

Yeah, that should do it. 😃 #kidlitchat

It gets the bubbles out, right? #kidlitchat

There's a story there! #kidlitchat

Yep, that makes sense. A lot of video games are stories. #kidlitchat What part of game development do you do?

I knew what you meant. #kidlitchat

It's a wonder I ever get past this stage, actually. #kidlitchat
