ROOT DOWN

This weekend has been filled with dirt, earthworms, flowers, weed control fabric, mulch... It is finally May, and we have began revamping our backyard!! I am ready to find some more blooms, but I need to take it one weekend at a time!! :)  Here are some photos that capture our day.

They might be little now, but they are gonna root down and grow!!
