One of the things we’ve been discussing is landscaping, particularly professional landscaping. However, I’ve convinced D to let me have an area in the backyard where I can plant flowers, and also a little patch to grow garlic, strawberries, basil, etc.

I know what you’re thinking: who are you and what the fuck did you do with Jenn? But this is actually something I’ve always wanted. When I was growing up, my grandmother had a large flower garden, as well as what you might call a mini-farm in her backyard. I helped her plant, weed, and harvest every year. I want to get back to that.

I also have plans to get a horse once we build our next house castle. But that’s a story for another day.
