I wanted a garden...

.

I thought of a few raised beds...

I thought of a simple form of a greenhouse...

I suggested using some old logs that were lying around...

But I married a carpenter

and he happens to love me immeasurably:)

So began the birth of

my Greenhouse!

.

Adelaide collected the joins for the roof trusses

.

and because every fine carpenter need a helping hand,

she found her hammer!

.

and Sarah supervised the entire project

.

actually, they both did ;)

.

and they both got their hands dirty too...

Let's hope they hone their skills

in time for us to build our new home !

.

Daddy got to do the high stuff

The girls are still a bit young for climbing ladders

(not that they would necessarily agree with me on that one)

.

Wow...

Things really started to take shape :)

.

And at 7 a.m.

what a yummy place to curl up with

a hot cup'a'java

and a snugly toddler

to welcome the morning...

.

.

and to Skype Aunt 'Reen !

.

But, remembering that this was not intended to be

a "java hut"...

and with the growing season well underway...

it was time to call in the

Mighty-Machines

You can't have a greenhouse

if you can't plant things!

So...

It was time to bring in the soil!

.

I've never seen two little girls

turn into such dirt mugs

so quickly!
.

So it was time to turn our new little coffee nook into

a proper greenhouse !

.

Yunic had a blast hanging out with me
while Sean started bringing in the dirt!
.

He just hunkered down

with a contented look about himself...
So much so that,

I'm thinking he could be my new watering buddy!

.

Veggies?

They are NOT

but what a great place

to keep my new Hostas

until I feel safe enough to put them in the ground!
Actually...

I'm not sure I will EVER feel that safe in the Yukon

considering this past winter killed off all that I had!

To lose a Hosta is a horrible thing...

.

.

Well there she is

in all her glory

My

Greenhouse

!!

.

Wow...

I have the greatest Hubby

&

truly,

the most amazing kids

.

Time to watch our dinner grow!!
