Sunflower Fun

 

 

I love the sunflowers the girls received today from a sweet boy that they babysit.  Sunflowers always make me smile 🌻 😊.

And a close up!

Bluebonnets and Orangebonnets

Texas Bluebonnets

If you live in Texas you can't help but notice the amazing wildflowers this year.  The bluebonnets have been especially nice in our area as well as the "orangebonnets" as G calls them but I have always known them as Indian paintbrushes.  I just had to stop and let G get a few pictures with them.

 G's eyes are open more here in the shade.

I have a few pictures from last week of the kids with bluebonnets but I'm hoping to get a few more as it was super bright that day.

All the kids

I wonder if people in other states take pictures with their wildflowers.  Texans are pretty much known for it! 

Grow Flowers Grow

Today we did a little landscaping.  I say little because we have so much more work to do but we made good progress and had a lot of fun doing it!

 

Some of our helpers

 Our dead bushes - so sad

 

And now!  We are still going to have to add some grass here.

I am so happy to add some color!  Hopefully these will grow nicely.

 We had no grass here - literally none!

 So we added some - little by little we hope to have a full yard of grass soon.

 We are going to see if this grass takes and if so, add some more.

And my flower beds in the backyard now have flowers in them as well - yeah!  I will have to take pictures of those tomorrow.
