Our flowers...

We finally got around to doing some yard work. Brian got our front "yard" (it's not big) mowed and then one morning, I started weeding the flower bed. It had some tulips and a daffodil blooming when we moved it, then there were a few iris. There have been lupin blooming for the past few weeks. I'd bought some petunias on clearance at the store, and wanted to get them planted before the blankety-blank dogs from around the corner got to them...or the raccoon. The kids all wanted to pick out some flowers too, so we walked across the street to the store and Joshua picked out some marigolds - yellow ones, surprise. Nathaniel whatever he could find that was orange (violas...there were some yellow ones too) and Grace, of course, went with purple (more violas, with some white ones). We all worked hard that morning and were so happy with the end results.
