Hard Days Work

Tom decided he wanted to run a water line into our back alley where we have a variety of fruit trees planted. He doesn't like taking the hose back there because he is always knocking over a plant in our garden as he stretches it across the area. So, I agreed to help, how hard could this be? I thought he said to dig a trench 2", so I did, he meant 2', big difference. Well, I hung in there and kept digging, with his help of course. We got it done.

After about 10 minutes of digging, I had to take a break. I sat for a few minutes, in an old motel chair, and couldn't help but appreciate the beauty in the variety of flowers and plants planted in a small area of our yard. I love this time of year.

Beautiful yard! My plants do not seem to winter over. I have to replant every year.
