Summer Evening | 05.22.2013

My sad garden needed some love today so both this morning and this evening were spent pulling out dead flowers and weeds and turning over the dirt. This morning was really lovely and cool. We both enjoyed being outside and getting a bit dirty. After William’s nap we went off to the garden center to buy new flowers for the pots and some spots in the garden. I also spent a whole $1.99 on a sprinkler for William to play with. A very good investment.

After dinner, James joined us outside while I did some digging and William got wet. Once William investigated the sprinkler long enough he helped me with some planting. He helped me this morning too but didn’t get anywhere near this dirty.

We had to hose William down before we could take him inside for his bath. Even then there was still dirt floating in the tub. I’ll take it as a sign he really enjoyed himself.
