We only had one basketball game on Saturday which is very rare. We got home and had the whole day in front of us...whatever will we do. My thoughts were a nice afternoon nap, but as you can see Mike had other plans. We have been meaning to get our garden replanted so off we went and what a beautiful day to start. Our backyard is constantly growing with just about everything. Lets see if I can remember it all...I will start with the trees - Orange, Lemon, Lime, Peach, Banana, Mango, and Avocado. Next in our garden we are planting - lots of tomatoes, cilantro, parsley, basil, oregano, onion, zucchini, and blackberries. Lastly we enjoy having a colorful backyard so some of the plants we planted are - gardenias, hibiscus, bougainvillea, bamboo, and geraniums. This awesome mix of vegetation is mostly due to Mike. Working in the backyard is very relaxing to him and as you can see he's out there a lot to keep up with everything. I'm still trying to find my green thumb and still hoping his will rub off on me.
All of the kids are always great helpers. They love to spend time out side with Mike and I doing just about anything. Sometimes they get side tracked and lose focus on what their working on. Somehow that big green ball was calling their name to play with it.
Lucky for us Ben and Esther stopped by and joined in the fun. We always welcome their visits the kids absolutely adore both of them.Now just think what we could accomplish if we had every Saturday open...haha

So beautiful and colorful. I wish the green thumb would wear off on me too! I love your pictures and especially the ones with the green ball. So cute! Makes me miss my camera.
Sounds like a perfect day to me! We keep getting slowed down in our gardening plans by things like SNOW! I totally envy you your citrus trees! How blissful!
p.s. Do you have a template or set of templates that you plug your pictures into for display on your blog? I love grouping my pictures together so they don't take up so much room, but it always takes extra time to build them myself?
Adrienne - I use a program called picasa you can download it for free onto your computer. Tera showed it me and it makes it really easy and nice to make collages.
Don't you just love when it gets warmer and you can play outside! I love those days. I wish I could have been there to play too!
So when are you going to "plant" grandpa's yard? JK
Ahhhh I'm so jealous...lemons, avacados, bananas...mmmmmmmm...not in Utah!! My cilantro is thriving, though! lol
