Garden Grower

I'm certainly no green thumb.  My inclination is to kill plants. Somehow, incorporating a storytime to the "Garden Growers" at the library sucked me in.  ACY took to it immediately, anticipating Wednesday morns to check on her plants. So ironic they planted Impatients.  Then sheep ears. Or were they elephant ears? 
The weather hasn't been cooperative for my beach bum this summer. Some days are over the top hot. And getting burnt  wasn't fun for me. Lobster, red bell pepper....the shade of my back. Got a cool tanned "X".  So perhaps the Garden Growers was a blessing in disguise.  
The marigolds look promising. Another mom told me basil works well in crappy soil. That's verbatim. Lol.  Maybe this was more for me? 


Then, of course, we have spent much time at "Safari Park" with EGP, her partner in crime.  Best amenity other than the "safari" is the spray pool.




Summer fun! Simply put, nothing is better than this. To just be a child and live free and carelessly as one.
