Flowers

The first fall we were in this house (2009), I made sure I got some mums for our back deck to put in the nice flower boxes we had. The mums were huge....and only really looked nice the first weekend I brought them home. I'm not a good mum care-taker.

So last year, I never got around to planting anything in the boxes, which was a shame because they are really nice - built right into the deck!

This year, Dave made a run to Tractor Supply for some things on Saturday morning (4/30) and came home with 2 flats of purple petunias. He was not going to let another year go by with empty boxes!!

So that morning we headed outside to plant them. The boys were excited, but it was pretty chilly! Here they come as Dave brings the tractor out:



Checking out the flowers...they smell good!

Aiden's being a big helper!

Austin did have a turn - but I must not have a picture of that!

Then it was time to get planting - lucky for me I had a lot of assistance!

Austin and Aiden each planted a flower, too!

Then Austin of course headed for the tractor!

Notice I said they each planted ONE flower! Shortly after they each had a turn, they were off to the swing set!!!
