Gardening

While my mom was here last weekend we did a bunch of gardening!!  I finished up digging up the grass and weeds from around my peonies.  They look so much better now, if I do say so myself. 

See where all that lovely mulch is?  Used to be this grass:

I worked hard on that!  It took forever.  Very pleased with the outcome.  Also planted our veg garden with my mom.  Ingrid helped.  She is going to be so pleased when we can start picking things out of the garden to eat!  We've already had a few very tasty strawberries.  Yum!

And randomly, here is a picture of Otis and me.  My little Irish child, I never knew how much I could not look like my own kid...
