Gardening: Flower Garden From Seed

Last week, Thora and I started a small flower garden from seeds. In a tiny section of our yard, we planted nasturtiums and morning glories. Here are my helpers. Thora was actually incredibly helpful, illustrating what some moms might feel when their older child takes on some of the child-rearing of the younger children. In this moment, Auric desperate for a nap, was jiggled to sleep in his stroller by Thora. And then she made about a half a dozen trips into the house for blankets to pile on him, despite it being about 75 degrees.


Here's the tiny plot, temporarily marked with some of our trimmed tree. More pictures to come as the plants sprout from the ground.


And elsewhere in our back yard, this is happening:


This is one of two peonies blossoms.
