OUR BIG YARD
This year a lot of change has happened outside already and it isn't even May. Our front yard had the biggest transformation. I am looking forward to the finished project but already love the new look. The fence keeps the dog and kids in and I am getting excited about adding some color. The flowers will be fun to plant as the front gets so much great sunshine.



Pat helped the girls get a vegetable garden started. Sydney is most excited about the tomatoes she is planting. I imagine she will be eating those right off the vine when the time comes.


Sara is most excited about the carrots she is planting. The tiny seeds were perfect for her tiny fingers.
The girls drew pictures so they would remember what seeds they planted. Cute!


Syd blows bubbles for Sara and Ruby. Both girl and dog can't resist popping big bubbles.




Pat got the girls help planting Dahlia bulbs. Syd has already checked them every day. I guess this is a good way for her to learn patience. I am so grateful for Pat getting the girls involved in planting. I am afraid I am more of a destruction girl and prefer the less exciting activities like mowing and whacking....but not picking up my trimmings. Pat does that too. Did I say I was grateful?




Sara picked me a lovely bouquet of flowers the other day. Thankfully we don't grow that kind in our yard (at least when I can help it). She gets them up on the rode while Dad throws the ball for Ruby.
