Flowers for Mom

Carla has a good heart and volunteered to help my mom buy and plant flowers in her back yard.  My mom called Carla a few weeks ago and told her that she was ready to go.  Carla called me and I told her that she volunteered and so my mom hadn't called me.☺ Carla didn't want to go without me and so today we went.  I might or might not have been thrilled about it.  This is not my thing and I have no idea what I am doing and so I just went along with everything Carla suggested.  My mom and Carla were excited about the project and we bought a bunch of perennials that liked the shade and took them back to my moms and planted them.  My mom brought a chair out for me and her so we could watch Carla do her thing.  I didn't feel right about sitting and watching and so when Carla had the plants situated to where she liked them I did my best at planting them.  My first two plants had to be replanted since I didn't have them deep enough.  I had the dirt pulled up around them and it wasn't smooth with the ground and so Carla had me do them again.  I couldn't help but laugh out loud because I really thought I had planted them properly.  I did better on the next ones but I can't say I didn't have to plant a few others over. ☺  There's a reason why we don't have flowers in our yard....I pulled out the perennials that we paid to have planted.  I had no idea that they were suppose to be cut and not pulled. Like I said...this is not my thing.  It only took us a few hours and my moms yard looked much better.  I'm excited to watch the flowers grow now.  It should be pretty.  My mom talked about having my sister and my families over now to enjoy it.  I think my dad is happy with the changes. He loved a nice yard.
