All my (our) new stuff
I've had a busy week so far of spending money and acquiring things. Some meaningful and others, not so much:
1. A beautiful garden! Olive tree and rose bushes in the front. In the back an etrog, lemon, orange, leechee, pomelo, pomogranate, baby lemon, herbs, vegetables and some stunning flowering plants I can’t name. Green green grass and a gazebo that will be covered by a grape vine! Our Garden of Eden! And, by far, the most meaningful acquisition!
2. A round Burmese Teakwood porch table with 8 teakwood folding chairs. You can now come visit us and enjoy a relaxing meal on the back porch overlooking the Judean hills. I live in Israel!
3. I received a 20% birthday month discount coupon from my favorite clothing store, COTTON. I bought a funky new skirt and two really comfy tops. Happy Birthday to me!
4. Several (like 4) new mitpachot (hair coverings) So much cheaper than buying hats, and much more comfortable to wear!
5. Yummy mangoes. I love mango season in Israel!!
I am the most excited about having a garden! It makes such a difference in my sense of inner peacefulness not to have to look out onto dirt everyday. I am so thankful!
My hope is that everyone who visits will enjoy the same peacefulness from Hashem’s nature painting in my garden.

Nice to check back and hear you're doing so well. I remember when you were nervous about moving into the house at first.
It's funny and somewhat ironic that you're enjoying YOUR garden so much. Growing up in Frederick you hated weeding and working out in the yard. Mom would be so proud! BB#2
It sounds beautiful, I can't wait to see. But don't you know teak is endangered?
I'm glad Lisa said something about Teak. It really is an endangered tree species.
I am sure your table and chairs are beautiful, but perhaps in the future, you can choose a different type of wood.
