Every spring, I am suckered into thinking that this will be the year that my garden is beautiful and I will continue to take care of it as diligently as I do when the temperature is nice and mild.
Every summer, everything that isn't saved by the sprinkler system dies.
A horrible, agonizing death of baking in the 100+ degree heat and being choked out by weeds. This spring, not only do I have the delusions of garden grandeur, but I got Emmy to go along with it.
She got to pick out a pot and plant to take care of.
Her pot: a simple, but very practicle terra cotta
Her plant: a beautiful, but already blooming iris
She would not be swayed on the iris.
We came home and potted her precious plant and watered it. :-)
She was so cute and attentive and even told the plant to "drink up" when she watered it.

| Emily's iris Sorry, no pics of my sweet gardening pal. She firmly refused to be photographed. |

| I couldn't pass up these purple and white hyacinths. The ones in bloom at the nursery smelled SO GOOD. |

I could tell she was very happy with her plants. She was so eager to share the information about watering with me on the phone. I hope she will not be disappointed when the blooms die. She is so sweet. Give love and kisses to both of my babies.
