Spring Flowers

I love looking at all the blooming flowers in the springtime. While driving around one day, I was pointing out to Austin all the pretty flowers. While admiring them and talking about the different colors Austin commented in his typical matter-of-fact way, "We don't have flowers at our house." Ouch!!



I will admit that we haven' t done much to our flowerbeds in the front lawn and I am really terrible at watering. Most plants that I have had in the past usually have a limited life due to my lack of attention. But how could I rob this 3 year old the satifaction of blooming flowers??




So this week we made a trip to Lowe's to pick out some flowers for our pot. Austin was pretty excited about it. He wanted RED flowers which is no suprise since red is his favorite color. After purchasing the necessary items we got to work: pouring in dirt, shoveling, planting, and watering.

Hopefully we will have a pot of beautiful red flowers in no time!

Wish us luck!
