That’s right. I am making a garden in my backyard as an ode to my favorite MLB baseball team, the St. Louis Cardinals. I was raised a Missouri girl, and, well, am *kinda* a Cards fan. The kind that even while living in Milwaukee, would wear my Cardinals jersey and scream as loud as I could from the stands for MY team. Even though there were a whole lotta Brewers fans around me….. yes, I was *that* person.  😉

So now that I’m living in Arkansas, another “Cardinals Fans state” (and the Texas Rangers), I am ready to show my pride. Not that I wouldn’t in Wisconsin, I did, I flew my Cardinals flag every summer. But I wouldn’t make a garden! Only because the growing season is about 2 days and the other 363 days are pure bleck. Just kidding. But seriously, it’s too cold to get creative in the garden up there. Not worth the effort.

So here’s my creation, minus the flowers. We have another freeze warning tonight (wait, was I just dogging Wisconsin for being cold?!?!?!) but you know tomorrow I’ll be looking for the perfect flowers. I’ve seen them already, let’s just hope the nursery keeps them warm tonight. 🙂
