How does your garden grow??
Well, we’ll see. Operation: Get a Green Thumb is underway.
A couple weeks ago my mom, brother and sister-in-law came to help me plant flowers. And by “help” I mean they did it all for me. My mom researched and bought a pre-planned assortment of plants.
Mom and Ryan getting started
Jo puts the plants in order
working the dirt (as I take pictures)
Roxie gets in on the action
Ryan fixed a broken fence post
all planted!
gardening is DIRTY work!
I spent a bunch of time working outside this weekend. Stay tuned for more pictures of the progress!

The title of this post obviously comes from a nursery rhyme. But it also reminds me of my friend’s brother who, when we were about 8 or so made up this little ditty:
Cari, Cari, Quite Contrary
Shave those armpits
Oh so hairy
nice, huh?

your yard is looking good!
we used to sing to my brother:
michael, michael, motorcycle,
turn the key and watch him pee.
he hated it w/ a passion (which made it all the more fun to say).
