Flowers in Your Hair

Today was a long day of hard work. V got up and started power-washing right away. After about 5 and a half more hours we are finally finished!

I went to the grocery store and Home Depot (for more flowers!) first thing in the morning and then got started planting. All total I planted 27 flowers and 2 hydrangea bushes. It took me about an hour to dig the hole for the first bush. I don't know what I was doing wrong! Then V came and dug the second one for me in less than 10 minutes. It was helpful but mildly frustrating because he was so much faster. But, other than that one hole I dug and planted everything by myself. It would have been easier and faster if V had dug all the holes for me but I'm perfectly capable of digging holes and I don't think he should be stuck with all the yucky jobs just because he is stronger than I am. It's very satisfying pulling in the driveway and knowing that the reason the garden looks so pretty is entirely because of my hard work. Unfortunately our bushes don't look like the photo above just yet, but hopefully in a few years they will.
