Puttering Afternoon

This morning the girls were up early (5:30 am) so that they could plant flower seeds in the cool of the morning. They each chose three different flower varieties to try: alysum, money plant, verbeena, pansy (for fall), penstmon, and nicotiana. The girls' goal is to have their own wildflower garden where they can clippings to use and dry.

Pixie wanted to help weed and dig up the flowerbed.


Ginger weeding her little area.



Gracelyn working on her area.


While the girls worked I let Pixie watch the mockingbirds and hop about the yard, pouncing like a kitten.

This afternoon we have been puttering about the house and the girls have decided they want to make some cookies while I try to get a bit of paperwork done and maybe get a chance to do some reading.

Y'all have a good afternoon!

For the puppy patrons:

Honestly, she's like a little yoga pretzel!

Those little gals are real "eager beavers" aren't they? I hope you will post pictures of their flowers when they bloom.

I think I saw in The Weather Channel that you are having some hot weather at your house. It is cool and very rainy here. I wanted to get outside today and work but there were many, many downpours all day long so I stayed in and found lots to keep me busy.

I hope you had a relaxing afternoon. Love, Debbi
