The wheelbarrow kid

Thomas and I decided to start tidying the garden today.

We started, of course, by going to the garden centre to buy some new plants and compost.

On the way home with our purchases, at the end of our road, I had to stop the car and let Thomas out, as his pals were waving for him to join them. Bless him, he did stop, all be it briefly, to say that he had intended helping me in the garden, so I told him to ask the boys to come down and at least help me get the big bags of compost out of the car and round into the back garden.

I had almost given up hope of them arriving, when I looked out the window to see Thomas, Robert and Kevin heading towards the house, complete with wheelbarrow and garden tools!!

Kevin has helped his dad in the garden for years, and they had only bought the wheelbarrow yesterday! There was no way he was passing up the chance to show off his skills, and his new tools!!! The testosterone starts here!!!

Safe to say, we now have a new bed for veggies, beautifully prepared by the boys - well, mainly Kevin!!! And I also have a promise of more help with whatever else I decide to do in the garden this year!!!

I also have to say that Meggie and I made a fantastic job of the pot out the front of the house! Looking good!!

Today I am grateful for any help I can get!!!

Gratefully yours.
