Happy Earth Week





Buttercup designed her own stakes to mark her plants.





We need some rain!


















We spent this weekend cleaning up the yard just in time to celebrate Earth Week. We have a new garden and a new landscaped area next to the patio. The girls had a great time planting tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, assorted berries and some herbs. I planted Azaleas, Impatients, Roses, Hostas and other assorted bedding plants next to the patio. We installed two rain barrels hoping to harvest some rain for watering. We haven't had rain for two weeks....not that I'm complaining, but we could use some water. It is hard to water after work and school because of our dance schedule and other assorted activities in the evening. Anyway... it looks beautiful and we hope we can harvest some fruits and vegetables this summer!
