Growth

Spring is nature's way of saying, "Let's party!" ~Robin Williams

And also saying "Get to work - your yard looks awful with those dead bushes."

So I got to work. HARD work. Including digging up 2 huge bushes with my father-in-law and a pick (it was AWESOME!)

It took 3 weeks of Yard Waste collection to get rid of everything.



Grow little plants, GROW!



I learned a lot - like you aren't supposed to put bark so close to your plants. I was so hestitant to plant anything, but then my mom told me the best advice that encouraged me to start planting. She said "gardening is like a science experiment - you just have to keep trying stuff and learn as you go." I was always too afraid of making mistakes but then I dug right in! Thank mom.



Wesley learned you aren't supposed to eat plants. Or pull out the flowers.



Preston learned Heidi's cell phone number - haa haa haa haa haa haa - Poor Heidi (she will get me back some day)



Yeah for summer! Boo for watering! Yeah for pretty lavendar smell!
