Bakersfield Appreciation Episode 4


I think one of the best things about living here is the spring.  It is beautiful.  You can see the mountains all around and we get cool days and warm days.  The windows are open and there are big clouds in the sky.  This month has been such a busy one for us.  A few weekends ago Joey took Olivia and Sammie to the city clean up activity with our Stake.  They had a blast cleaning up a big giant field, but I didn't get any pictures of it.  They came home so excited and Joey told me what a work horse Sammie is.  The girl can work when she wants to.
Since I didn't get any pictures of the girls cleaning up I took some of them planting flowers on a beautiful spring day.  Joey and Sammie got up early before everyone else and did a donut run (Sammie's favorite thing to do) and then surprised me with flowers when they got home.  Sammie helped pick them out and plant them too.  Even our neighbor's kids were out there helping.  
I absolutely love planting flowers.  I get so much satisfaction out of it and my heart feels lifted.  I was actually able to do a lot and it felt so wonderful to bend down and dig.  The girls liked getting dirty too.  Hopefully the flowers live!
