I've spent the last 2 years caring for my live-in MIL until her passing a year ago this week, and I've really spent a lot of time in the yard this year. I was only able to be outside a little bit at a time before, and couldn't get anything done due to her care requirements. We miss her terribly, but she is resting now and pain free, and I'm free to play with my flowers and 3 year old grandbaby, Emily! What a joy she is! She like to help me water my flowers, and frequently likes to "water" ME!

I think I need a new yard hat.....
