The Smit Family: Blooming

Today marked my first afternoon of "summer" as I finished my last final this morning- and what a gorgeous afternoon to have off!! This spring I have been obsessing over everyone's beautiful flowers outside (probably because mine failed me last year...and I desperately want to make a comeback). I had to force myself to wait until school was over before I went on the hunt for flowers. So, first thing Lincoln and I do when I get home from class...make our rounds to find the perfect flowers! Three stops later and I was ready to plant (and thankfully Lincoln was quite the trooper).

Even if it took three stops and several passes by each row before I found just what I had in mind, I LOVE how they turned out. Now to keep them alive for a whole summer may be another thing...but I'll enjoy it while I can :)

Although we live in an apartment...on the second floor, that kind of hides behind a big tree- the likely hood of people seeing my flowers are kind of slim, but regardless I love looking at them, and it's kind of therapeutic!
