Ready for summer

I worked on planting on Saturday.

I have many pots around the yard, 2 have tomato plants and the rest have flowers.

I'm almost done and then I can just sit back and watch them grow as I water.

It's bittersweet this year as I am usually getting ready for Dad & Ev to come and visit.

Getting my yard looking good for them gave me a lot of joy.

I find myself thinking about them quite often as I move the planters, plant the impatiens that they loved, ready the deck for sitting in the morning and afternoon, and hanging a fresh American flag.

I'm not ready for them to be gone, but I guess I am ready for summer.
