New Plants

Today was a great day spent with Gino.

Grandma and Grandpa took Isabel for a few hours while we ran errands and enjoyed our time together. Our plan was to meet up later and go to dinner and then play mini golf but the weather didn’t cooperate for that and Gino (and Dad) and I bought a bunch of new perennial flower plants for the yard!

Looking south east, my Dad helped me arrange the flowers before Gino and I dug the holes to plant them. Last year this area was planted with evergreen shrubs but with all the rain during winter, they didn’t make it. So we decided to go with flowers instead!

We got Salvia, Daisies, Foxglove, Lavender and Gaillardia (which reminds me of Daisies!). I’m excited because I LOVE Daisies!!!

Looking north east, we finally got the flowers set up the way I want them. Thank you Dad for the help! They look so good!!!

Isabel had a great day with Grandma and Grandpa. Grandpa went to play golf and Grandma and Isabel got to ride along in the cart. Isabel even got to drive it! Afterward they went to Old McDonald’s and Isabel got to play in the playground after having lunch.

Getting the flowers in the ground before it started to rain, just as we began to dig the hole for the last flower. Didn’t get it in the ground that day or the next because of rain. We eventually got it planted and the flowers are doing great! The Foxglove seem to have really taken off! We have also attracted a lot of bees to the yard but I don’t mind, as long as they don’t sting!
