Yesterday was one of the, if not the hottest day of the year here in Oregon, and we chose to spend our time working in the front garden, planting, removing an ugly ground cover plant and spreading four yards of bark-chips. We were pretty sensible and didn't work out there during the hottest part of the day, but come late afternoon/early evening we headed back outside to finish what we'd started.
Of course, Amelia loved being out there, especially when she found a ladybird. She screamed out "momma, a ladybug!", it was cute to watch her try to figure out how to get the tiny insect onto her cute hand, but after persisting for a short while, she was able to hold the little critter. She watched, fascinated, as it walked over her hand, and giggled as it made it's way up her arm "it tickles!" she kept saying. Her curiousity is infectious, I love seeing things from her point view.

I am happy to say, we finished the garden and it looks beautiful - perhaps I'll share photo's in my next post!

I love ladybugs, too, Amelia. I hope you made a wish before she flew away!
