Planting time

After church, we changed our clothes and headed to Jane's house. She gave us some salad and coffee cake. Then we went outside to plant.

It was pretty warm outside, so Jane decided we were just going to plant her rosebush. She said it's a cabbage rose. Her mother planted it on the farm in Virginia. Jane's sister-in-law, who still lives on the farm, sent her a couple slips of it to plant and grow in her garden. I dug a hole and watered the soil. I wasn't too careful with the hose, and I squirted FJ pretty good. Luckily, it was hot outside; he dried quickly. We planted and staked the rose, and then we went back inside to chat.

I was inspired by Jane's garden project, so when we got home, we went to work on mine behind the duplex. Weed-pulling was the task of the day. It was still terribly hot, so we took several breaks, but we got it done.
