Going To Grandma's

It was my favorite kind of Saturday today. The kind where I get to go over to Grandma and Grandpa's for breakfast. Plus they both have green thumbs and while I'm there I like to try to figure out how to get one too. Today was beautiful and sunny so Grandma and I explored the garden and I received some big fresh lemons right off the tree. Mmmm.... they smell magnificent. 

And I love Grandma's blue and white dishes. 

Au Jardin

Oh my back hurts. I'm getting old. Lol. Gardening is quite a bit more exercise than I felt it was 10 years ago. Lol.

I don't know what got into me this week, but I was sick and tired of looking at dead plants for the past year. I figured it was time to get my garden back in shape.

Sydney found herself a nice little spot to watch the activities from a safe distance. I'm not fooled little girl I KNOW you'll be out there digging in all that fresh dirt as soon as I turn my back. :)

Whoa. What is that?

Look what I found while gardening! It was so much larger than the bees I thought "Whoa. What is that!" This thing was intelligent. It totally weirded me out. Honestly, it didn't like me following it with my camera. It kept taking passes at my head. It scared the H-E- double hockey sticks out of me. I couldn't get too close because it seemed to be aware of me, unlike the cute little bees that amble about my flowers all day long.

I googled it and its definitely a wasp. Golly. I don't really see wasps around here. I knew that if I made it too mad I would probably tear off screaming while he flew after me, so I figured I'd just be content with the so-so pictures I got, and save myself the drama.

Grandpa + Grandma's Garden

I have to say, my grandparents have the greenest thumbs. It's something I've hoped to inherit and I think if I give it some practice I definitely have the heart. Although I'm not sure my yard will ever look like theirs I sure hope it will one day. Check out the work of their hands.
