Well, the weekend was non-stop, go-go-go. I survived the dentist (but must go back for a tooth repair and a filling replacement), did lots of yard work (which I will discuss in a minute), and we even ate at one of my old college favorites...Zaxbys. It was nice to just have some time with the four of us.
Back to the planting, Brian has always wished that I cared more (or at all) about gardening. I can't help it...I just don't. I don't mind the planting part but it is the upkeep that drives me nuts. I get so tired of watering all the time and the flowers seem to die anyway. I need the kind of flowers that don't require any water or t.l.c......which is why one year we bought fake flowers and planted them in front of our house and believe it or not...they didn't look half bad.
Well--this year I decided I would REALLY try to be the gardener my husband desires. So, we went to Lowes where I (with a little help) picked out a variety of flowers and planted them (which I had never done before). I am going to try my best to keep them alive this year. It was kind of exciting seeing the end result once I was done. The front of my house just might have a little color this year. Will was just as thrilled with all of the planting and helped me every step of the way which is great because I will need his encouragement and enthusiasm when it comes to watering the flowers. Here are some pictures of our hard work.
Oh...and Brian planted tomatoes too! YUM. YUM.
