A Miniature World

In our yard we have a garden railroad! We started it over 7 years ago...

It has taken a ton of work, but I think it has been worth it!!! 

These were bird houses that we painted...  

Most people that have garden railroads have big towns, but we only have a small one.We hope to make more houses for it this year.

The trees are bonsai so they stay really small. 

I love the chili peppers! :)

Fruit Trees

All of the fruit trees are blooming!
We just got two more fruit trees this week. One is an apple and the other is a pear.

This is the new apple tree. I love how it's white with a tiny bit of pink!!!

.

We got this apple tree three years ago to replace a peach tree that died... 

This apple tree is about 10 years old and gives us hundreds of apples ever year!

I first started taking photos of the garden last year. I had gone outside with my camera because there was blue sky, I saw the cherry tree blooming and started taking photos... I think I have more photos of the cherry tree than anything else!!!

The sky

I love clouds!






I could not believe this cloud! It had been a really pretty day with blue sky and then all the sudden this enormous cloud appeared!

Even though it looks like a thunderstorm it was only drizzling!

I took this photo when I was 9 years old. I had a really cheap camera so I am amazed at how good this photo is!








Sunrise and sunset are even more amazing than clouds! (I think!)







It is rare that we have a beautiful sunrise like this! I woke up and saw the sunrise so I grabbed my camera and started taking photos and after a few minuets it had gotten even prettier!










We have some amazing sunsets here!

The green woods

I have started taking about 50-100 photos every day! All of them flowers. 

These are some photos of the woods. I have always love the greenness of them just after it rained!

An old tree house... It is completely covered in moss and fern from going over a decade with out being used...

 

Even though white bleeding heart does not grow naturally in the woods it is still seams like a woodland plant! 

Eggs...

 Easter Egg Dye

Cut 4in squares from nylon stocking (one for each egg) center a leaf on it. Set uncooked egg on it and tie with string. 

In a large kettle gently boil 2oz onion skins in 2 quarts water. Cook for 20min. 

Strain, & add 1T apple cider vinegar and uncooked eggs. Simmer gently uncovered about 20 min. Immerse in cool water till easy to handle. Remove stocking and leaf let dry. Rub with a cloth dipped in oil & wipe dry.
