Playin' in the dirt

Mike and I accomplished a lot today. He rototilled in the lovely organic matter that I had dumped into the flower bed all into it, plus worked up where I decided that we needed more flower bed. It will look pretty and it is a spot that I always try to tip the riding mower over on myself all summer. Then he assembled the arbor and table and chairs that we brought home yesterday, and I got the patio area swept off for the table. We put the arbor in at the bottom of the stairs and it was time to start planting.

My darling husband will not plant flowers, except he will dig the deep holes for the roses or other bushes. So after he dug the holes for the 2 climbing jacobs coats that are going on the arbor he decided that he would cook dinner while I planted. I got half of the iris back in, in over twice the area that they were taking up before, and some other plants as well, before I gave in to the freezing wind. I came into the house to find that my wonderful husband had steak, homefries and eggs all ready to go on the table as soon as I got out of the bathtub.

What more can you ask for at the end of a fun day playin' in the dirt? Now I am clean, my tummy is full, I have taken the pain pills for the bursa under my shoulder blade that does not enjoy playin' in dirt, and I have my ice cold feet warming on my nice warm hubby. Life is good tonight.
