Planting

I love working in my yard.

I don't do it nearly enough, but I always enjoy it when I get the chance,

or take the time, to do it.

We have a little area in the backyard where we've tried to grow some vegetables the past couple years. It hasn't worked that well because it doesn't get the sun it needs, but we've been able to grow jalapeno peppers in the past. This year all we could find was seeds.

I let the kids have at it and they had a blast planting them.

Sad to report nothing much has come up from the seeds,

so it's store-bought jalapenos for us this summer.

Oh well. There's always next year!

It was one of those days where the weather was absolutely dreamy

and you wish you could stay outside all day long.

My master gardener. She's taught me everything I know.

It's more fun to do things with cute little assistants.

And the most fun of all...getting sprayed! An older man was walking by, looked to be a grandpa, and he said there was no more delightful sound in the world than the laughter he was hearing from my children. It's true. They were giggling and squealing and having a big time with the water! It's officially summer. And I love it.
