Gardening

I have found the new joy of my life: gardening. Yesterday Robert and I spent the entire day working in our yard; he mowed and edged while I planted flowers and weeded. I don't know how I went 24 years without weeding, but yesterday was truly my first weeding experience and I love it! The results are immediate, and it feels so good to pull them out of the ground. Robert is building a raised garden plot for me in the back of our yard where soon I will be able to grow vegetables and herbs!

Today we are painting our fireplace room a lovely earth color and tonight we will celebrate the great summer weather with salmon barbecued on cedar planks - yum!

Here are some pictures of my flowers...
