long weekend in the garden







what a difference a few weeks make

i thought for sure i would be behind due to the

late start to spring and a week of solid rain

this weekend i spent hours, finishing my weeding

laying out 16 bags of cedar mulch

moving and splitting and

planting 10containers of annuals

i even had time to sit and relax

enjoying a bottle of vine and a bbq

a day in the country is always a stress reliever

especially when you get to visit a two week old baby
