Our Newest Spring Hobby (^_^) Flowers Flowers!

b

Abbie and I started to buy flowers in late February after we asked the gardener to lop off all the shrubs in the front yard. Sinc ethen, we've gotten addicted to flower shopping at Home Depot and Lowe's, and added weekly to our collection!

It started with Cobbler stones and little flowers....

Then we began buying big, tall flowers and huge, heavy bags of Miracle Gro Garden Soil....

Then decoration for the planter like flags, dragonflies, and butterfly stakes!

In our family room, we're sprouting sunflower seeds and Valentine "forget-me-nots", and we're excited they are growing!

Me & hubby & sprouts!

Finally, we've added Thai basil and grape tomato plants to our back yard.

Planting flowers is very relaxing (though back-breaking), and addictive. I really enjoy every step of the process and seeing our little pretty flowers grow and thrive.

Finally, Spring is almost here! What a fun project to start on, after 10 years of shrubs (and caring for little babies)!

I guess our life turns a new chapter for our family, since my little ones are finally 'bigger kids' (8 and 4!), and I have the luxury to try new hobbies now!
