Mother's Day


Well- things have been so busy over here that I haven't updated on my Mother's Day. On Saturday, I went out with my sister for several hours. When I got home, Ben had worked really hard on a flower garden in the back yard for me. I was so shocked! He put a Columbine, Day Lilies, Morning Glories and Snap Dragons in it. He even let me be the first to water it!

On Monday I came home from work to find that Riley dug a lot of my flower garden up. The dirt was everywhere and the remains of the flowers were all over the grass. The Columbine and Day Lilies remained but everything else was pretty much gone. When I told Ben I could hear the defeat in his voice. I felt really bad and that dog can be so destructive!!!! I will fix it when we get back from California and replace the flowers that Riley dug up. My flower garden is still beautiful..It just has some empty spots. I told Ben that it was the thought that counted but I'm not sure that helped him any.

How beautiful! I love flowers, but sounds like Riley needs a spanking!
