the view from my window

This man. He's the best. That is a very stinky trailer full of dirt for a flower garden that he is making for me.

This window. It's about three feet from my bed. And outside that window is weeds. By the time I go to bed tonight, there will be a beautiful raised bed for flowers. I can't wait.

I had to help Hubby with the layout and shape of the bed. I literally had to get him "out of the box." He wanted to do a square flower bed but I wouldn't hear of it. So I put on my new gardening boots, took his work gloves, and went to work. Once I was happy with the shape, Hubby went to work.

He's very thorough. Notice the level? He's also a closet pink person. Notice the pink paint in the grass? After trying to make my shape with a hose and then finally using the bricks, he pulled out pink paint and got all professional on me. I'll have you know he did all the work, but I made the shape! I wanted a flower garden, not a flower box.

The plan is to start shopping for plants soon. (Like tomorrow, maybe?) I know it is supposed to be a cold weekend, so we may have to hold off on getting the plants in the ground, but at least I'll have them ready to go. I can't wait for spring!!
