Autumn so wanted to plant a flower garden… so we gutted the old big sandbox and filled it with topsoil and let her shop for flowers.  She’s completely obsessed… she checks their growth on the hour, every hour.  There are wilflower seeds planted in the middle of the big area, and she checks several times a day to see if they’re growing yet.  I think she’s going to get frustrated very quickly at this rate!  She’s lovin’ it – Grandma and Grandpa have promised to go get some flowers for her to plant at their house too.  Martha Stewart in the making, maybe?

Yes, that’s a lovely area of dead grass where the broken lid was left laying all spring… guess I’ll be shopping for grass seed soon too!

That’s a teeny frog balanced one of the chairs:

And why oh why do I like pictures of them walking away so much?  It’s so… “me and my shadow”!
