Summer Flowers

A few weeks ago Sophie and Daddy went to the plant nursery and Sophie bought a pink petunia, with her own money, to plant in the front yard.  It has been doing so well that today I took the girls to buy a few more for them to plant with Daddy.  Well...apparently petunias don't like the heat, so the nursery isn't selling them anymore. :(  However, they did recommend zinias and vincas.  So we bought a few of each.

Here are some pictures of the girls digging and helping Daddy.

Lydia had decided she had had enough shoveling, so she started picking the petunia flowers.  Check out the deviant look on her face!  Is she trouble, or what?

The finished flower bed.  (You can see the lovely, pink petunia.  They may not like heat, but I think they get just enough shade to do well).

One happy, little zinia.

Love,
