Gardening with Blakeley

We had a wonderful time today, hardly making a dent in the plants and seeds purchased for Blakeley. In the first shot she is waiting for me to tie my shoes and get started; the second shows her joy that it is finally
time to water; and the third is my favorite. After digging the holes, examining the root balls and then planting the tomato, she watered it thoroughly, then immediately plopped down and announced she was going to
'watch it grow'. Later, she planted Lamb's Ear, pinched Lemon Balm and Mint to smell them , sowed dill seed and patted the nearly invisible seeds into the soil.

She rested peacefully for an hour this afternoon, and I am sure I will sleep
well and happily tonight.
