Gardening

I have been spending a lot of time outside turning our little front yard into a garden the past couple of weeks. Callia enjoys helping me, too, and we have had some special time together. We were planting some English ivy last week and she was helping a lot. She dug a couple of the holes, put some of the plants in, and put in a lot of the compost. She'd say "compost comin' up!" and come over with a scoop of the composted manure to put in a hole. She was so cute. I used to love gardening with my mom, and I'm so glad she does, too! I know not all kids like that kind of thing. It has been really special and I look forward to doing it some more with her.
