Spring Planting

Today was so gorgeous! We went to Lowe's first thing to grab our supplies and headed home to spiff up the front flower beds. Two things about Lowe's: 1) Saturday mornings are crazy busy this time of year. Go early...we did, and all was well, but I felt sorry for the hoards of incoming people as we were leaving. 2) Look for their "distressed plants" - usually in the back corner of the garden center. These guys have sat on the shelves for a few too many days and are looking less than ideal (droopy, dehydrated), but, they are 50-90% off the original price, and they recover nicely once in the ground and watered. This is the second year in a row God has blessed us in this way. We got over $200 worth of plants for less than $40! Yay! Now on to the fun stuff...daddy works, mommy cleans up messes, and the boys LOVE gardening! :-)
