Me: "I'll put the clean clothes away once I'm finished with all my laundry..." Steve:

Half the clothes are folded, the other half are lumped together in a pile.

The cat looks very comfortable and content.

We planted a purple flower garden today 💜 Hydrangeas, hyacinth, muscari, tulips and two trees! Lemme tell ya, we are outta shape. That was a WORKOUT. 80% of our time was spent removing rocks and tilling/amending the soil. He kept snapping secret pix of me working.

A man in green shorts and a T-shirt is lying on the ground digging a hole with a small shovel. The earth in front of him is a mix of red irony soil, top soil and black earth mixed together.
