Digging In The Dirt
DD and I spent yesterday afternoon digging in the dirt, well actually it was partly mud. She enjoyed creating her own mud hole with the water hose. Sunk herself half-way to her knees. Did I mention she is in 9th grade? Some things it is good if we do not out grow them. We planted marigolds, periwinkle, snap dragons, cladiums, and impatients. The week before we had planted yellow and pink lilies and a bleeding heart. We have also moved a few plants around. We moved some curly mint, apple mint, sedum, and ribbon grass. Also moved some siberian iris to another area. Going to try and get the bee balm seeds planted today. It has rained so hard I was afraid they would wash away. My giant columbine is blooming and so are my pinks. My hugh deep purple irises are blooming also. We have beautiful little blue birds, robins and finches at the feeders. The humming birds are getting their little bird tummys full at their own feeders. Maybe I will get around to listing all the different kinds of plants, bushes and trees we have growing on our small piece of God's beautiful earth.

Sounds like you and DD are thoroughly enjoying spring.
Sounds like you both had a good time. I would love to get some of that mint. All I can find here is Chocolate mint and regular stuff.
Your place sounds like ours - we have a bleeding heart, lots of irises in full bloom, lots of daylilies (some getting ready to bloom), colorful columbine, various annuals sprouting, and lots of hummingbirds duking it out at our 2 feeders. They can be mean little suckers!
LOL, I was thinking DD was 2 or 3 until you said 9th grade. How funny! Glad she had a good time, though.
