And I&#8217;m sure we didn&#8217;t see everything. I&#8217;d been saving a little spending money back just for this event but knew I still had to be frugal. Bill and David also bought me hanging baskets, so that was real nice. I got a few perennials and just a few geraniums for a pot in the front yard, along with two roses.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/JackieClay\/2017\/05\/15\/i-hope-all-of-you-had-a-great-mothers-day\/loading-flowers_1696\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5903\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/JackieClay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Loading-flowers_1696.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"446\" height=\"360\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5903\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/JackieClay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Loading-flowers_1696.jpg 446w, https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/JackieClay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Loading-flowers_1696-300x242.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 446px) 100vw, 446px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Bill and Kelly loaded up with lots of nice flowers and David surprised us by also filling a cart for himself and Ashley (who is busy test driving cars in Florida).<\/p>\n<p>After our flower binge, we had all worked up an appetite and drove another 20 miles to a little family cafe and had a great lunch at a very reasonable price. So we sat, ate, and visited for another hour. Very nice!<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow we&#8217;re driving down to Bill and Kelly&#8217;s to help them build and fill two new flower beds along the front of their front porch. It&#8217;s something they&#8217;ve been wanting to do for a long time and it&#8217;s nice to see it about to happen.<\/p>\n<p>Will finally got our little Ford 660 tractor back together and working. The very first jobs he did with it were splitting a little firewood (to see if the new hydraulic pump etc. was working right) and tilling our berry patch, main garden, then the house garden where we&#8217;d taken out the raised beds. It was so nice to see all that black dirt nice and fluffy again. Now I get to start planting! <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/JackieClay\/2017\/05\/15\/i-hope-all-of-you-had-a-great-mothers-day\/will_front-garden_1683\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5904\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/JackieClay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Will_front-garden_1683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"446\" height=\"360\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5904\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/JackieClay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Will_front-garden_1683.jpg 446w, https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/JackieClay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Will_front-garden_1683-300x242.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 446px) 100vw, 446px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/JackieClay\/2017\/05\/15\/i-hope-all-of-you-had-a-great-mothers-day\/black-dirt_1685\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5905\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/JackieClay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Black-dirt_1685.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"446\" height=\"360\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5905\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/JackieClay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Black-dirt_1685.jpg 446w, https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/JackieClay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Black-dirt_1685-300x242.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 446px) 100vw, 446px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8212; Jackie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I know I did.
