I usually go take a nap when I get home after baking but I just didn't want to because it was so nice. So I walked around with my camera and took a few pictures.These orange-ish looking ones just bloomed today!
This is seriously the best part of growing anything!
I love these purple flowers, but I don't know what they are.
Wait, stop! Do you see those dandelions in the middle of all my flowers? Well, so did I while I was taking pictures, and it bothered me. I was over at my Aunt's house the other day and she was telling me about pulling dandelions. She said that as long as you get the crown, then they won't come back. So I went and got my little hand shovel and started pulling weeds. Briant came over (while mowing) and asked me if I knew that we had a dandelion picker? I was like, "HUH?" And he was like, "Yeah, my dad got one for us while he was out here." So I went and looked and sure enough I found it. I tried it... and I went crazy! This is such a cool tool!Seriously, I can pick like 6 dandelions in like one minute. And yes, they even get the crown! I was having so much fun, I filled one garbage can half full with dandelions! Thanks again to my FIL for such an awesome and effective tool!
And thank you also to my Aunt Pam. The other day while I was over there she gave me a really cool book with lots of gardening tips (that I have been reading a lot) and a big bouquet of tulips.
We are looking forward to next week when we go to PA to spend the week with his family and have tons of fun while we are back there! We'll be sure to take pictures.
I'm also looking forward to Memorial Weekend. That is when we have planned to til the back yard and start planting the garden! I got some pots for our front porch and plan to plant some flowers in it too. It is so exciting to finally get some warm weather!

A dandelion picker? Hmmm I have never heard of one of those. Off to google it. I NEED one!
Someday I want a yard to play in.
If you miss one dandelion, think of the millions of seeds...
