Secret Garden

My mother had nothing to do over the weekend so that meant two days of general cleaning for all of us. She had her eyes set on her garden this time, so we were off early Saturday morning to get some indoor planters and decorative planters for her beloved plants. These were the only items on her list, so when we got back from the garden supply shop, we naturally had window box planters as well.

It was a day of tilling the soil soon after. We were all covered in dirt and fertilizer by day's end. She marked strategic locations around the house and had my youngest brother place an indoor planter at each point. My other brother was tasked to set up a decorative planter in her office. The eldest son was assigned setting up a window box planter on each of the house's four windows.

We were absolutely spent and Mama, sweet woman that she is, got us all the pizza we could eat. Still, I covertly checked her planner to make sure she had some work to do over the next five weekends.
