Day 117: Yard work day
I woke up a little before 7:00am, which is good because I set my alarm early so I could get to the market early, but I forgot to think that I had my alarm to only go off M-F. Either way, it didn’t matter. I picked up breakfast, a few things for dinner tomorrow, soap and herbs for planting today.
After breakfast, the entire family headed out for the flowers. Mac took James to look at other things, and Ada and I wandered through the flowers. She did well to stay near me and to not pick the flowers. She did keep taking dirt out of various pots that we passed and putting it in the pots we had picked out.
It was already time for lunch when we returned, so we ate again, and then I set out to get flowers planted with Ada’s help. She did pretty well. She saw me do my herbs first, which come in the pots you can plant. She kept carrying all the pots from one bed to another, trying to push them in the dirt. She had her tiny trowel, and moved dirt from one planter to another to a bed. And then I brought out the watering can so she could water. I got most of the front yard finished.
Mac and I got to go out tonight. As Mac called it, “First Date Night of the Year.” It may have been, actually. He took me to see the new Ewan McGregor movie. It wasn’t that phenomenal, but we were able to leave the house. Without children. Next time we have this opportunity, I say we do food and drinks.
Time for bed. I’ll have to proofread this tomorrow. Or not at all. *Yawn*
