Flower Gardens… September 8, 2007

I love flowers, I love gardening! This spring, I decided to plant a flowerbed outside my kitchen window so that I could watch my flowers grow. My boys quickly took the area over with their tractors and shovels. So I decided plant a different sort of garden. A couple buckets of sand, an occasional watering, and I traded boy toys for flower seeds.

I have watched my flowers grow all summer, getting taller and browner and blonder in the summer sun, laughing and digging, pouring sand in each other’s hair. It is easily the most beautiful and successful garden I have ever planted, and I love watching my ‘flowers’ grow from my kitchen window.
