Today was a beautiful day for Spring to begin. We spent a few hours in the yard with the kids cleaning up the flower beds and putting a new coat of whitewash on the fence. All the lilies, irises, and daffodils are coming up. The daffodils should be bursting into bloom in about a week. I can hardly wait. We also planted 4 new clematis to grow on the arbor and Amber and I found a stunning new purple day lily that she planted in the front bed.The girls got to earn some extra money today by helping us paint the fence. As you can see from the pictures, I think half the paint ended up on the sidewalk! They both enjoyed painting, for about 30 minutes, then the novelty wore off. Kami also decided that her shoes needed a fresh coat of white paint and we decided that was our cue to give them a new task. They moved on to cutting up branches. The clippers kept them amused a lot longer. I am truly enjoying helping Miah's girls develop a love of the outdoors and gardening. I don't even think they realized the TV wasn't turned on once today!
too funny! Can't wait to see the flowers and fence :)
