The Gardener

Elizabeth has taken an unusual interest in gardening this year.  Back in March, she asked us to get her gardening gloves and a little shovel so that she could help out with the gardening.  We thought that this was  just a passing thing, but she persisted, so when we saw kids gardening gloves at Lowes the other day, we got some for her.  She wears them (of course) whenever she's working with soil - and she was an excellent helper for Lee when he planted our garden.  She also filled our two backyard planters with flowers all by herself - she was so careful and methodical that I resisted the urge to redo any of hard work because I think that everything is going to grow just fine!!
