My garden week 2

My garden is really starting to get colorful. This week my flower beds got a boost. I was thrilled to have my daughter Suzy and Oscar spend a week with us while her husband was gone to a conference in Seattle.

We had a great time despite the rain. We went shopping at our favorite stores and walked all over Dayton and Harrisonburg. For Mother's Day I bought some beautiful bedding plants for the garden. What fun digging in the dirt and actually seeing some beautiful colors in the landscape.


Suzy enjoyed digging in the dirt and planting flowers and plants. We actually had our first picnic on Mother's Day. Mr. Wonderful and Tim fixed us a wonderful lunch under the huge shade tree in the back yard.


Oscar enjoyed the grass, the breeze, the birds, and the leaves dancing in the wind. I love his hat. He reminds me of a little Amish boy in this picture.








Mr. Wonderful picked out this hanging basket for me. He knows I like red geraniums. This basket is red, white, and blue so will be great for the fourth of July too.







I love this picture of Suzy and Oz! Tim came on Saturday and we got to spend all Sunday together. We got some really good spoiling time in with Oz. They left Monday and I'm already looking forward to seeing them in June along with Becky, Jerry, Emma and of course our son Andy.

Isn't it fun planting and enjoying the new plants! We are a little on the slow side this year. It FINALLY rained when God got all our prayers at once...nearly drowned a couple of times.

Hubby got some of the bedding plants in today.
