Daffodils for Spring

It has been a long and cold winter with lots of snow. Now the spring is here and the weather is getting warmer. Nick wants to play in his pool but there is no water inside. Mommy told Nick he can play in the pool in June, we have to wait until then.

Mommy took Nick to the front yard. Mommy said, "Look, the daffodils are coming up! They tell us that the summer is coming soon."

Mommy and Nick took pictures of the flowers. Mommy told Nick, "In the summer the daffodils will be gone, but we will see new flowers in their place. Now we have a picture to remind us how pretty they were."

Working in the Garden

Today is Mother's Day. Mommy likes to start the garden on Mother's Day.

Mommy, Grammy and Nick went to the Garden Center to buy flowers. We picked out little pink flowers to plant around our tree.


Then we planted the flowers in the garden. Mommy asked Nick to help. Mommy and Nick took the little plants out of the boxes and put them on the ground.

Then we put on gardening gloves. We made holes in the dirt and put the flowers inside and put dirt around them.

Nick did not want to help mommy for long, he wandered away to play.


Mommy remembered a long time ago when Nick was little. We taught Nick how to work in the garden.


And even then he did not want to help for long, and wandered away to play.
