Happy Mother's Day to Me!

I probably say it every year, actually I know I do. But this was the best Mother's Day ever! The weather was fantastic. Perfect for transplanting a couple shrubs to make way for my new variegated boxwoods, courtesy of my loving husband and children! After the boxwoods were in place, Hank and I took a nap (Wow! That felt so good!). And then it was back to work, creating herb gardens for the grandmas and then edging the sidewalk.

The girls made planter picture frames at Lowes then brought them home to paint for me.

 

My new boxwoods (they also bought me a nice double hanging plant hook)

 

 The kids were excited to help. Well, Eleanor and Hank were. I think Carolyn was inside watching 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame' for the 6th time in as many days.

 The finished product! Love it!

 

Hank was the man. Picking up stick, rocks, worms. Whatever he could fit in his tiny green wagon. That boy can't get enough outside and dirt. At the end of the day, you can see on his face that he had a great day too!
