Planes, Pallets & Plants!

I don't think there is anything more motivating than sunshine and blue skies to get you out and about! There is no way you would ever waste a day like today on indoors activities or chores, the sun is out and so are we!



Actually another delightful motivator in our day was this gorgeous little note Thomas so subtly posted on the fridge....

After a quick talk about some of the things the boys wanted to do (mainly indoors and relating to movie watching) I made the executive decision to have lunch overlooking the local airport, watching the planes taking off, it was great!



The boys talked so much about where the planes were going and who was on board, although Thomas pretty much decided all planes were carrying rockstars heading for Italy...lol! Oh Thomas!



After lunch we enjoyed a wonderful walk through the garden department at Lowes, I needed new pruners and some inspiration to start the veggie beds. The boys both picked out some seeds and we talked about what our favorite fruit and veggies are that we should grow. Thomas would like to grow bananas while Harry would like to grow rice!?!? We then talked about food that we can actually grow in the Pacific Northwest and how neither of those would grow here very well. The boys suggest we move to Asia...lol! So instead of moving they both picked out a suitable seed for here, Harry chose watermelon while Thomas was keen to try sunflowers. Love it!


While we were there I picked up some pallets! Yes I finally have my pallets!!! Although I felt like a busted criminal when I was caught loading them in the back of the car, nothing a quick phone call to his supervisor couldn't fix, few thanks Bob for giving me the go ahead in the garden area and yes of cause I would ask first!



Back at home the boys and I got stuck into some serious gardening. While Thomas thought it would be more fun to make confetti from the dried hydrangea heads rather than tip them in the yard-waste bin and Harry was set on raking the front lawn with a hand fork, we actually managed to achieve a lot!



Tomorrow, fingers crossed the sun will return for another productive day in the sunshine!!
