The evening wind was blowing, cooling the summer-like temperatures of the day, inspiring us to traverse one more time to the cottage...this time, our little helper is joining us...ready to "work hard."

We notice the weighted bud in the midst of the hollyhock leaves...
Xavier chooses Grammy's new pink watering can. He is so strong, he can lift it all by himself and begins to water the freshly planted peonies.
Big Daddy has made headway on the new bed that will be our "Summer Cutting Garden" so Xavier determines he must do his part.
This is our package of bulbs...
He says our garden will be a rainbow..."just look at those pretty colors, Grammy!"

We retrieve our trowels and commence planting these tiny "holders of rainbows"..
"Morning, Glory" looks so charming....even as the sun begins to set behind her...
Shall we call you, "Evening, Glory"...

We pack away the potting soil and gardening gloves and make our way to the Great Weeping Willow by the pond, where Big Daddy has found the comfort of the reclining Adirondack chair.
We will meet you there...
