I took this picture tonight… somewhat ceremoniously. Erica and I got the girls to bed, everything was cleaned up and no sooner had I sat down than I jumped up and was out the door to take a predetermined picture in the garden.

I threw that garden together for my wife around Mother’s Day of 2011. She had talked and talked about wanting a garden and I planned and plotted and went about it all wrong. It was three weeks behind schedule and a couple hundred dollars over budget but we’re certainly enjoying it in 2012. The twins had fresh strawberries all spring… as did the squirrels. We’ll have green beans, tomatoes, peas, lettuce and zucchini shortly. I like watching it all grow. Now that cell phones have killed the answering machine, there has to be something to look forward when coming home.

So I embark once again on a personal photo project that I’ve attempted several times over. A picture a day for a month. And just like that garden, I’ll finish it some day, look at it and it will make me happy.
