Kelsey, the little "garden girl." She helped me plant all my pots in front and I even had enough flowers to do some pots in the back. She was my little helper picking out which colors should go in what pots. Of course, if you know me, the only colors I use for my potted annuals are pink, dark pink fuscia, light pink, a little purple and a dash of coral.



Tim and the boys planted all the vegetables in our little community garden plot. Looking forward to lots of fresh veggies this summer.

The sight of our big rock garden in back -- our perennials are already quite lush. The peonies have buds (and black ants!)

The swing and comfy chairs on the front porch already getting lots of use. Kelsey has her dolls out there quite a bit in the mornings. All of our flowers (front & back) remind me of my Mom.
