Mrs. Harper's Garden

Hi everyone!  I hoped you all enjoyed my last blog about my trip to New York.  It was really fun but I was as worn out as my Grandpa.  We both took lots of very long naps on Tuesday.  I feel very badly for Grandma however; this is the last week of the school year and she has to work very hard yet.  Grandpa is trying to help tho, he made dinner Tuesday night all by himself.  He barbequed pork steaks and made his kidney bean salad, macaroni and cheese and new potatoes.  I was so proud of Grandpa.  I thought all he knew how to cook was frozen pizzas.

Yesterday was a fun day.  Grandpa thought it would be fun to for us to pay a surprise visit my Grandma's good friend Sue and to see her amazing garden.  She was so surprised and excited to see Mommy and me get out of the car.

I have to confess that I probably wasn't the best visitor because on the way to her house I had a messy diaper.  Grandpa told me that it probably was not the best etiquette to come to someones house and need to have my poopy diaper changed the moment we walked in the front door.  Oh well, I'll try to do better next time.  Grandpa said not to worry.  It was kind of like him this last weekend when he needed to ask my Great Grandma for a plunger after using their bathroom.  Kind of embarrassing.

I really like Mrs. Harper.  She is a such a nice lady.  So is her husband George.  He carried me down the steps of their deck for Mommy and was very careful because it had been raining and Mommy said she can be a little clumsy and didn't want to slip on the wet steps.  Grandpa was right about Mrs. Harper's garden.  Mommy and Grandpa both said "Wow!" when they saw it.  Mrs Harper says she has over 180 plants in her garden.  She also said that she was glad when it rains because then she doesn't have to spend an hour watering everything.

There were so many plants to look at.  Mrs. Harper was really good about knowing all of their names.  Some of them had already bloomed and a lot of them hadn't bloomed yet.  I'm hoping Grandpa will take me back in a few weeks when some more of the flowers open up.

Isn't this one pretty! 

After we walked through the garden and saw everything we went back in the house and I played with Mrs. Harper for a little bit.    I think she had as much fun as I did.
