This week I took a few days off to be with the kids for Spring break. My dad surprised us by coming from Florida to visit. I always look forward to him coming this time of year because we work in the yard and plant new flowers.
The part I dread is pulling weeds and everything that is dead from the winter. But once all that is done my favorite part begins - planting all of the new stuff.
This is my little garden in the front yard. When we first moved into our house this area was covered with huge bushes. I thought flowers would look prettier so we had the bushes dug up and each year I plant new flowers. I'm excited to see a few of my gerber daisies are coming back.
I also planted flowers in a couple of pots by the front door. I love flower pots full of colorful flowers!
Something new this year is a rose bush by our mailbox. According to the label the roses should be yellow when they bloom which I can't wait for!
Also, something new is a tree. Well right now it's hard to tell its a tree because it's small but give it a few years and it will be bigger. Eventually it will be a nice shade tree.
Whe we were busy planting things Ginger was on a leash in the yard. I caught her digging a hole! Im thinking another bath for her even though she got one last night.
I really enjoyed working outside today and making things look so pretty!! Brayden did a good job of helping and watering everything when we were done!
