Tonight's picture was taken in June of 2009 at my friend Christine's home. Christine hosted a 7th birthday party for Mattie. That was his second birthday party that year...... one in the hospital and the other at Christine's. As you can see Christine's husband, James, got dressed up as a roach because he knew how much Mattie loved them, or at least loved to tease me about them! But check out the cake!!! Christine found a baker to create a cake in the shape of a roach! How do you like that????
Quote of the day: I grow plants for many reasons: to please my eye or to please my soul, to challenge the elements or to challenge my patience, for novelty or for nostalgia, but mostly for the joy in seeing them grow. ~ David Hobson
Yesterday evening we bought all the plants we needed for our deck. So this morning at around 11am we began the clean up process. I am not sure what is worse cleaning up the deck from winter or planting in all of our flower pots. The verdict is out, but given that it was like a summer weather day, we knew we had to get it done today. As tomorrow it returns to gray and cooler!
Yet it is 7pm, and we finally stopped moving for the day. An 8 hour commitment!
