So, I have told you how my husband is really into gardening right? Well, we spent most of the day last Saturday helping him get the greenhouse organized inside. He made eight bins to grow plants in and a table and a shelf…..all out of PVC pipe! (Yes, he keeps threatening to make furniture for the house now…..ha!! I don’t think so!) I spent a lot of time working on the liners for the bins he made and he and our little one brought dirt in from the huge pile in the driveway to fill them up. She just loves to help and just gets in there and does what needs to be done….amazing considering she is only 3 years old!

We got out there about 9 O’clock in the morning and it was chilly but nice in the greenhouse. The wind was blowing a bit which was a good test of the stability of the greenhouse. My husband sent me in the house after a while to find some tent stakes we had in our camping stuff because he wanted to put them around the outside of the greenhouse to stabilize it a bit in the wind. I was looking and taking a while and before I knew it my daughter was in the house yelling, “Mommy, daddy needs those bloody stakes!” I smiled to myself as she had no idea what she had said and told her we probably shouldn’t repeat everything that we hear!

I finally found the stakes much to my husbands relief and with most of what we set out to do done we decided to treat ourselves to ice cream as we had all worked so hard! We have a great old fashioned ice cream stand right down the road from our house and just about every time we pass it my daughter asks if we can have an ice cream……I usually just say, “well, when the weather gets warmer we can do that!” She was psyched! She got a half and half, vanilla and chocolate cone and my hubby and I shared a banana split which I enjoyed immensely as I hadn’t had an ice cream in ages! Yum!!!

With our tummy’s full we headed to Home Depot to get some more bits and pieces for the garden, we seem to be going there a lot lately! All in all we had a great day! I think I will enjoy it even more when spring finally gets here……I am so tired of the cold…….come on and warm up already!!

Have a great weekend!
