We spent all day gardening… readying the soil, laying out the plants, digging holes, watering, laying out more dirt. It feels good to be working side by side with Ben. True and Brave played beside us all day and Soul was outside a little, but mostly spent the day napping away inside the house. Our garden has come a long way from its weed-filled days, but there is still much to be done.
Preparing a garden has most definitely been blood (dumb bougainvillea poked his head), sweat, and tears for us, but it is our definition of fun. We love doing everything together!
How was your Monday?
oh my gosh… ben!!! reminds me of when he played Jesus in the easter musical!
Looks like a wonderful family weekend. Love that picture of Ben. Blood, sweat, and tears indeed!
Oh my goodness! Where do you get such beautiful flowers? I just love how your family spends so much time together. Doing such fun projects. I hope Ben heals quickly!
Ruby those flowers look sooo pretty. What happy colours!
love the garden and the sweet time you spent with your family. i spent some great quality time also with mine. we went to wrightsville beach in wilmington nc…bliss! times like these are so far and few between with the kids growing up and older. i enjoy reading blogs of young families to remind me of the wonderful memories created when mine were youngins'. have a blessed day!
Whenever you post garden pictures there seems to be a bloody pictured somewhere in the post :p Looks like fun though!
beautiful garden! i am so jealous! 😉 i love it that you make gardening a family event.my husband's idea of gardening is throwing seeds on the ground,scooping dirt over it and calling it a day. 🙂
I LOVE those metal containers for the flowers! Beautiful!
