If you are ever invited to a garden party at our house, don’t come in a dress with a pretty bonnet. Instead, put on your jeans, get a sun hat and bring a rake! Here are some shots of our garden party, Black Forst style. Everybody participated, down to the four-year-old.
First, we fortified them with cinnamon rolls and sunscreen
The man with the plan gave instructions…
Most of the strawberries were dug up to make space for other plants
Even the youngest found a job
Andrew dug weeds
The plastic had to be removed from the walls
Thomas watched patiently
Ahh! Nice and clean
Meanwhile, the guys did the heavy work of putting up a chain link fence
The fence was heavy, but somebody had to hold it up
Preparing for the additional fencing to fool the deer
Maria was just happy to be outside
It was a productive day which was topped off with hamburgers on the grill, a hail storm and peach cobbler–in that order!
God is good!
