Today Mommy was home with me because Gram and Papa are in Phoenix with Stacey and her friend Genia. We went to a garden center this morning and got some pretty flowers to plant in pots outside on our patio. Mommy let me pick out which colors I liked. On the way back home we talked about all the kind of flowers we bought: Pansies, Petunias, Snap Dragons, Geraniums and a new Clematis to plant in the ground. When we got home we planted the ones in pots. I was a BIG help to Mommy - I don’t know what she would have done without me. You may not be able to tell, but both of my fists are full of dirt that I was “storing” on Daddy’s grill in three little piles. When it got close to lunch time, we quit planting and Mommy let me have a flower for behind my ear. This picture is a little bit out of focus, but you can see how much fun I was having as well as the dirt in my mouth. Mommy told me not to, but I was having fun sticking my head in the bag of dirt and smelling it. I guess I just figured if it smelled that good, I might as well try it. Here is a picture of the results of my handy-work. I spent a good deal of my time scooping out little bits of dirt into the pot that had one of the geraniums in it and then dumping the dirt on the patio. I also was having fun rubbing handfuls of dirt on my shirt, but the dirt would sometimes fly up into my nose and mouth. I’m not sure what was more fun, helping Mommy in the dirt or playing in the sink in the kitchen afterwards when she was hosing all the dirt off of me. I sure didn’t want to get out of the sink! When all was said and done, I ate lunch and went down for my nap a little early because I was so worn out. Here is the finished product. Daddy’s still going to have to plant the clematis to the right of the door, but I think it looks pretty nice!
