Today I was planning to take pictures of Isabelle in the backyard wearing her newly finished circle skirt. But before we could go out, she fell asleep. Yes, fell asleep unexpectedly. She was sitting in my lap nursing and I look down and she was out! So no pictures of her new skirt. Instead here are pictures from the weekend. Alan was putting in new plants. Yes, gardening or in our case, let’s see how long it takes for this stuff to die.

We’ve been going out there these past few days to water them. The temperature here has been around 100 so we’ve been giving them a cooling shower at the end of the day. One of the new plants is called Dragon’s Breath. Alan liked the plant and in his words, come on, you HAVE to get a plant called Dragon’s Breath!! I think it’s holding up good, along with all of the other plants Alan chose. Mine on the other hand are not faring so well. He doesn’t think the ones I chose are going to make it, it’s a conspiracy I tell ya!

This post is entirely for my sake, to keep a record of when we planted the new plants. Otherwise how would I know that it’s been almost three years since we’ve done anything to the backyard. THREE YEARS HONEY!! (That last remark is to my honey, Alan, not the internets)
