My parents and sister were here for a weekend visit, and we had the funnest time! We grilled out on Friday night, and spent the night in with games, snacks, and tons of laughter. One of the biggest things I appreciate about family is that you really can just completely, one-hundred-percent be yourself, even in all your nerd-ness and dumb-joke-ness and silly-ness and they just get it. It was the kind of night that was just good for your entire being, you know?
We spent most of Saturday at home as well, and my parents were so kind to help us with some landscaping and mulching. It’s a huge sigh of relief to have it done now, because gardening work is something I have so little experience with and it intimidates me endlessly. I walk into a Lowe’s Garden Center and I am instantly overwhelmed and have no idea what to do. It was so nice to have my mom here to help formulate a vision for what to plant where and help shop and pick out the plants. We added a few shrubs and bushes to the front beds and got everything mulched as well. It’s such a nice finishing touch to our home now and it’s amazing how fresh mulch just makes everything look so fresh and new! We had dinner out in the evening and the obligatory coffee stop before heading home for the rest of the night.
My family headed for home around eleven the next morning, so we had breakfast and sat on the floor all playing and laughing at Ayla for the morning. It’s so funny how entertaining a little one can be, and it’s all like, what did we do before she was around to play with?! The rest of our day was relaxing with naps and taking a walk in the sunshine and going to church in the afternoon. A lovely Sunday!
What about you: do you enjoy gardening work?
