Mean Ol' Mama and the Big 40 !!!

Mean Ol' Mama's birthday began nicely with a gift of rosemary and oregano for the herb garden. ChubChub decided to celebrate by making a kite out of plastic bags. Oh, to be so young again...The Girl, MOM, and Chan spent a relaxing evening with a puzzle. It's amazing how fun/frustrating this hobby can be!
Poppins has been working diligently in the blueberries; he's trying to improve the soil and other growing conditions. He's quite a fellow, that Poppins...
"Yoo-hoo! Where's ChubChub?"
Poppins and the boys industriously gleaned some pine bark mulch that was spilled by the side of the road. Just a bit of time resulted in quite a bit of mulch for the garden projects.
The bags were almost as heavy as Branch. He's quite a helper, though...

And to top off a nice weekend, Poppins gave Mean Ol' Mama this beautiful flower for her 40th birthday. Isn't it gorgeous?
She also received cards, a cookbook, and chocolate (of course). There were other sweet gifts, and each was so much fun to open. Thanks, everyone!
