This past week I began the never-ending ritual of summer called gardening. I love it! My precious neighbor, Mr. Birn, asked me why I bother... it is dominion. The Lord has said to take dominion, and I am doing it.
This is what 10 yards of mulch looks like. Generally it takes all day to lay this much mulch. This year it took from 9-5. Not all day in gardening terms. My other neighbor, Jeff, helped me out a lot. I was so happy because it really is a lot of work to do.
Here is the backyard and my trusting garden chariot. It is not a wheel barrow. It is quite different because it has two wheels instead of one. Owen has one like it that is his size. He was busy working away as well. We also planted 10-15 more Hostas this year. I traded them with Emily Vedra for some pink phlox. I think I won- phlox and I are sick of seeing each other. I have removed quite a bit of it from the gardens this year. Steve and Janna have some, Mrs. Jurries has some, randoms from around Alger Heights stopped and got some. I was pleased to share the pinkness.
Here is Owen showing off his new Hibiscus. We just repotted this one for his mother. It is blooming like mad with very nice pink blooms. We gave Oma one when she visited this weekend. I am sure that the summer will be filled with gardening pics, so if you like it, stay tuned!

Looks like mulch ado about nothing.
Way to um... Dominate.
You act like I didn't help?!! I did! Just because I am pregnant every time you decide to lay mulch....
I love it!! I will have to live vicariously through you this spring because we have clay soil...uggg. I miss my old garden!
