We spent most of the weekend in the yard -- weeding, tilling, mowing, weeding, weeding, and more weeding. I planted some window boxes with hearty pansies a couple of weeks ago. We bought a bunch of flowers and were ready to plant when we learned that we are supposed to have a frost tomorrow night. "They say" to "never plant before Mother's Day" here. I was going to risk it until I learned of the frost. Argh! So, tomorrow night, we'll fill the kitchen table with all of the snapdragons, dalias, delphiniums, black-eyed susans, and hydrangea that I bought and cart them outside after the frost. I can't wait to get everything in the ground. I love to have beautiful flowers! Then, the vegetable garden...
Here's a poem that R wrote in school about Spring:
In the Spring you can ride a bike
Sometimes you can take a hike
Flowers are blooming everywhere
For everybody to share

Yeah 70's! It will be so fun to have lots of pretty flowers. It has been really gorgeous here too. I love this time of year. It did get pretty warm today though high 80's. Supposed to go back to 70's later this week. I too need to weed. That seems like a never ending process. Sort of like laundry with not quite the pretty results.
R.. I love the poem bud! VERY NICE>
Flowers are a GOOD thing, that's for sure! They are so worth the effort of planting and caring for them. Right now it's 90.3 outside and 91.4 inside . . . hmmmmm . . . time for the air-conditioner?
I love the poem and the fact that flowers are blooming to share with everybody, love that sweet boy!
