Gardening with Grandma

Today was so perfect outside, a light wind, around 70 degrees at 10:00 in the morning, and Joey and Grandma spent the time together in the backyard gardening.  It was so cute to watch the two of them together, digging in the planters, placing the plants we'd bought over the weekend.  A lilly, some geraniums, an african daisy, plus some alyssium.  It really will add just the right touch of spring to our otherwise green backyard.

I even got my hands a little dirty as I helped finish off the planting when mom was ready for a break.  Joey's favorite part of course was digging in the dirt, moving it from one container to another, and basically spilling have of what he was shoveling onto the patio. 

In the end, we all ended up having a nice morning, got a little dirty in the process and built up our appetites for a hearty lunch.  A picture perfect day.
