Over in the Meadow

Jenny and Scott's view! Not really a meadow - a beautiful golf course! The green around here is amazing! When I got home from school yesterday, Bill had already filled all the flower beds with our dirt! So, today I could go maternity clothes shopping with Jenny! Because she lives on the golf course AND across from a huge park, she has birdies singing, nesting and driving Beans and George (their sleek, little kitty) CRAZY! I bought petunias and pansies on my way home. I also bought lots of zinnia seeds, morning glory seeds, and squash! Yahoo! Tonight Brad and April are coming over for chili. I may shoot a photo of yet another fairy!
