Another day of gardening pleasure. Rosa and I planted the flowers this morning. She especially enjoyed pulling out weeds. Then we went to Home Depot and bought three baby trees: an apple, a peach, and a dwarf cherry. I planted all three of them this afternoon, with Rosa's assistance. She helped refill the holes with dirt, crumbling all the clods. She helped water--and watered herself rather thoroughly into the bargain. I spread mulch around my new trees and some of the things I planted yesterday. Now I think I'm going to rest from gardening for a couple weeks (except for mowing the lawn, of course). After Black Road I hope to do the pond. I want water lilies and a little waterfall.

After planting we came in and had corn on the cob for lunch.There are probably funnier sights than a two-year-old eating corn from a cob as big as she is, but not many. Jen called from the park, and we drove over to visit her there, but Rosa was being a pre-nap brat, so I brought her home again and she is now fast asleep.
