Twenty-two years ago we bought two acres of land.  We bought it during the wintertime.  It was covered in snow.  Snow that glistened and sparkled like diamonds in the sun.  I thought it was beautiful.

Then spring came.  The snow melted.  What I thought were small snowdrifts were actually big rocks.  Rocks!  We’ve been battling rocks ever since.

Planting grass, flowers, trees, and shrubs was a difficult task.  We had to pick rock and haul them away.  When we dug holes, we had a six-foot long heavy pry bar to dig out the boulders.  Yard work was WORK!

That being said, I thought that I would share with you a fun site for creating springtime flowers.  (I wish it were this easy in real life!)

Click here to create your springtime flower garden.  Click your mouse on the screen to ‘plant’ flowers.  You can also hold your mouse down and drag across the screen.

Spend some time with your grandchildren making your flower garden.  It’s a delight to watch the flowers appear.  (Send the URL to your far away grandchildren so they can have fun, too.)
