It took Linda and Sarah over three hours and lots of hard labor and finally.... finished! The front garden is planted. A trip to the flower nursery was first on the list. They filled their wagons with lots of pretty flowers. Next up, they had to take out hundreds of pounds of old mulch, dirt and rocks that were in the beds. Then they hand tilled fresh, rich topsoil into the existing left over dirt. So far, so good. After a quick food break, they continued on and planted all the new flowers and moved some plants from past years around a bit. It really looks so nice. Once everything grows up, it will be even more beautiful. Dennis was supposed to come and help, but by the time he would have been done with the gardening job he was working on somewhere else, Sarah and Linda only had about 1 hour left of work. Now Linda's back is sore from lifting and spreading the 40 pound bags of topsoil and her hip is kind of locked up, but she liked doing it together with Sarah. They had lots of good mother-daughter time!
