"We do yard work"

"snack time"

 

The kids were being so sweet the other day and wanted to help me do yard work. Haha! The picture above is how it ended up working out! I did not mind all that much, because even though it can be fun and sweet - usually kids helping out means more work for mom. The weather was weird that day. It would be sunny and then rain. I was determined to get a few plants in their pots...so anytime there was a break from the rain I went out there.

My little movie star

We are starting on our veggie garden. I am so excited. We will be making the raised beds here soon. I got my tomato plants going. We are trying Juliet and regular big tomatoes.

The kids did help me in their garden. Grammie bought Minnie and Mickey for Meli. They are solar lights. She loves them, but did not think they should go outside. She was pretty upset. Thankfully, once she saw them light up at night she got over it.

 

Kids garden...more décor than plants

 

I got some new flowers this weekend and some older ones are blooming. So pretty.

I love the color

My new Dahlias.

The name starts with an 'O', but they are 'Summertime Sweet White'. They are gray/black on the bottom

I must really like Dahlias. This one looks like it is glowing

Meli wet and muddy

Meli and Colin helped me water the new plants. Of course they ended up cover in mud. Bath time! Meli kept saying, "we do yard work". So cute...
