A Day in the Yard


Our weekend weather was unbelievably GORGEOUS!! So we started “early” Saturday morning! – early for me. It was actually about 9:00. : )

I thought it would be nice to have a fire burning while we worked.

It smelled so good!

and half way through the afternoon A. roasted himself some marshmallows!

We had 3 flats of pansies to plant and 8 ornamental Kale. The husband dug the holes for the kale and I planted them. Then he started the mowing. I started planting the pansies.

He mowed the front yard. Then he mowed the back yard. I continued to plant pansies.

He cleaned off our potting bench. Stored winter items and put things away. I continued to plant pansies.

He went to Sonic and brought home lunch.

I stopped planting long enough to eat. Then went back to planting pansies.

He built some shelves on the south end of the house for our plants to have a green house effect this winter – once they are covered with plastic.

I continued to plant pansies.


FINALLY at 3:00 I finished with the pansies. It's not that I'm slow or anything! Enjoyed myself by the fire while the husband fertilized all the plants.

Sunday I said to the husband – please, next year if I mention 3 flats of pansies, tell me that’s too many… please.


The husband said, “I was thinking of getting 4 or 5 flats next year!!”
