I made a visit to Mom's house this afternoon and on my way out found a troop of gardeners working on the front garden. Several years ago my dad filled the area with crushed stone in an effort to keep the neighbor's cat from using it as a toilet. The cat is no longer around and the stones are being removed to make way for flowers.
Lucas, just up from a nice long nap, thought helping Daddy in the garden was a wonderful thing. He pulled dry stems from last year's flower pots and tossed them in the pile. He found old flower tags to carry around. He took this gardening business very seriously.Alysa, who loves flowers, hung by her tummy, feet in the air, head in the toter, to rescue a few violas from the depths. Sara stood ready with a shovel to help her Uncle Dave remove rocks. I'm anticipating a lovely change along Grandma's front walk.
Oh goody! I hated that ugly, crushed gravel look. I shall joyously anticipate garden blooms!
ReplyDeleteI knew you would!
ReplyDeletePresious changes.
ReplyDeleteI love how Lucas is helping his Daddy! What a good helper!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice thing, working together like that. Hope you'll post the new flowerbeds when they are done.
ReplyDeleteThe pictures are so cute.
I think the new garden will look wonderful! Go Dave!
ReplyDeleteYeah!!! I hated those stones! I always loved mom's gardens in the past...but the stones were a BIG mistake!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, Dad removed all that great garden dirt and the stones are about 6 inches deep.
