COMPASSION, UPDATE ON THE RAISED GARDEN AND MORE CHANGES IN THE TRAILER

The theme for July is Radical Compassion and if you remember, the definition of radical compassion is totally and completely understanding, sharing and acting to help the feelings and concerns of someone.

Now, most of the time, we add the word 'else' to that definition and that would be right.   BUT the one thing that I want you to remember is that you are also deserving of compassion...especially radical compassion from yourself to yourself.   What does that mean?   It means treating yourself as a person of worth.   In other words, stop blaming yourself and start appreciating yourself.

So, this week, whenever you're tempted to tell yourself something negative about yourself...STOP and do the exact opposite.   Tell yourself that you are a person of worth, that you're a good person...heck, your a great person!   And don't you forget it...ever!!!


GARDEN UPDATE
Remember when the raised garden was built...

And then when we added soil...

This is how it looks planted...

We wound up placing six kitty litter containers between the beds which we planted with flowers and a few herbs to make sure that the soaker hoses didn't just water the ground.   95% of the plants look great, but a couple look a bit rough.   Have to wait to see if they survive.


CHANGES IN THE TRAILER
There's another blog tour - Where Blogger Create - and I have been trying to get the trailer in shape.   It's taking a bit longer than I thought it would because I decided to do some more changes.  Remember this - it's one of the storage bins accessed from outside...


I never really used it for storage, so I decided to remove it and this is what it looks like now...

It really is more spacious.   I'll take more pictures tomorrow.   This was the storage place that Chip and Dale used when they went outside.   So I added a sliding door (to the right of the recliner) that I can remove when they want to go out...

I'm still working on getting the trailer ready for pictures for the blog tour...thank goodness she extended the link-up for a couple days.   Hopefully I will finish it tomorrow but because I also made some changes to the craft storage area, it may take another day.   Plus, it's been a bit hot in the trailer.
