Owen's Garden

Aiden and Ava getting started painting the Owen Garden box - August 2010
Ava hummed the entire time she painted.  She loves to paint and really is in her own world. :)
Aiden made this cool shooting star on one side.
We created an Owen Garden a couple of weekends ago.  The people who lived here previously left a box that they had used for a small garden.  We didn't want to use it for our garden as we suspected the wood was treated, so we decided to paint it and make it an Owen Garden.  We will plant various wildflower seeds and see what happens.  Brien's favorite flower is Black-Eyed Susans, so there will be plenty of those.  The kids are in charge of picking out the other flowers that get planted.  We put it in the front corner of our side yard near the rosebushes and that is now called "Owen's Corner."
