Gardening!---Who Knew???



I love to be outside and one of my favorite pastimes is digging in a flower garden. Flowers just make me happy! And they can totally charm a yard. I really enjoy digging in the dirt and growing something. AND you'd never know that by the looks of my yard. All of my flowerbeds are screaming for attention and they have far more weeds than they have flowers. The ones in the back yard are pretty much overgrown with grass. I guess that's what happens when you have a Spring baby--the yard gets neglected! Oh well, I wouldn't have it any other way right now--Coleman is another great love of my life!!! Anyway, despite my great neglect my Lilies are blooming this week and they are gorgeous. My mom sent me a few bulbs last fall from her flowerbed and I literally just plunked them in the ground and wished them luck. Well, they must be pretty lucky cause they've grown beautifully! Take a look!

Hey Mare, your flowers sure are beautiful. I am never good at weeding my flowers, at least you have some growing mine have all died. Also, the picture of Coleman is so cute, I love his big cheeks. I wish we could have seen you guys at the reunion. If Aaron ever stops working so much maybe we can come see you sometime.(I kow I say that all the time but I am still planning on coming up to see you.)

Love ya,
Julie

Mare, who knew it? Are you kidding me, that ranch put flowers in your blood, they look lovely!! Isn't it one of the greatest miracles to put something in the dirt, and something beautiful to grow, its a duh statement, but experiencing it a little bit for the first time this year, it just blows my mind!! NOt manyof mine came up, but still, its wonderful, and cheers to your baby that takes you away from the garden!
