Gardening

I have discovered that I actually do enjoy gardening.  (Wasn't expecting that one)  It turns out that the thought of spiders, still scares the shit out of me, snakes do the same, and hell even a hyper cricket or two has made me near piss myself on several occasions... Turns out I just needed some gloves... Gloves make it all sort of better.  The thought of some random creature still increases my anxiety level, but overall gardening is a winner (though I'm not at the point where I'd spend ALL of my free time doing it...screw that.

 
My lil flower bed, before (used to be an old smoke house, we tore it down years ago...)

 
Before, continued

 
Jen caught lil man and I in action...he was diggin holes while I pulled weeds...

 
It still needs some mulch but this is a pretty decent After in my opinion.  Gma bought eight medium size mums that I planted yesterday after work... a storm was coming in, one of my favorite things...fall type weather, with a storm rolling in, the sun hides, and the breeze picks up and the smell of rain fills the air...

Looks like a great flower bed. I was never a gardener until A started. It's relaxing to dig in the dirt and watch your garden grow and blossom.
