Walking into the New. Saturday, June 23, 2007. The weekend before staff trip, Mary Ruth and I decided to make our driveway a little more exciting by planting sunflowers at the end of the lane. We had started the seeds early this spring, so the little plants were very ready to be out of their confining pots and into the soil! With wheelbarrow and water bucket in tow, we head down the lane. Dig a hole, dig a hole, darlin's! Friday, June 22, 2007. A few pictures from the past week. Monday, June 18, 2007.
