Gardening Gourmand

Mommy and I went to Meadows Farms nursery today. I really like going because they have great puddles I can jump in! Mommy also lets me push the cart around if I can't find any puddles to pounce. Today I discovered they also have dirt that tastes pretty good. After I pitched a whale of a fit (because mommy wouldn't let me eat any more potting soil), we went home and worked on some planters for the new house. We planted mommy's usual geraniums and added some trailing verbena just for kicks. While mommy was busy planting, I conducted a taste test: not surprisingly, Miracle Grow potting soil tastes a lot better than the soil at the nursery. After a hard afternoon of labor, mommy watered the plants and created some puddles for me on the deck. I was too busy running headfirst into the stream of water, however, to notice them. Mommy couldn't hold the hose and photograph me running headfirst into it, but she managed to catch it on video.

  1. Dear Mr. T,
    I'm glad you had fun in the puddles today. I had so much fun being with you for mommy's birthday. The only bad thing is it makes your papa and I miss you more. Good thing mom and dad are getting a bigger house!! Be careful eating the dirt, I thing mom may just want to have a reason to take you to see Dr. House!!
    Love you,
    Gran

  2. Hi Thatcher! You must take after your Nanny,because I used to love jumping in "Mud" puddles when I was little.
    The next time you check out the potting soil,try putting whipped cream on it,or better still, Ice Cream! I'm glad you had Gran and Papa Cecil to help you out with your Mommy. You and your Mommy did a great job on the plants. They are sooo pretty!It won't be long before you move into your new home!!! Let me know how you like it.
    Hugs and Kisses,Love,Nanny
