Rotten Pumpkins, Old Stones, and A Pretty Pansy


1. Rotten Pumpkins
The wee little pumpkins the boy child painted at a town fair last fall were left to rot in the garden all winter long. A couple of weeks ago, I attacked them with a hoe. This is what we have now.
I thinned them a little this afternoon, and will keep doing so until we have the right set up.




2. Old Stones
While digging in my yard this weekend, I started unearthing these old stones.
I suspect there are more. Last night, I dreamed I dug up a skeleton!


3. A Pretty Pansy:
The boy child has released his love for pink and wants all blue flowers in the garden now.

Next up: Mulch Delivery! (It's like Christmas!)
