Saturday, and Sylvia was working in the flower gardens. I was splitting my attention between the Bible study prep and a NASCAR race on TV (turned it on with the sound off). The heating pad on my back didn’t require my attention.
I heard the back door open. I looked up expecting to see Sylvia. It was our son, Bryant.
“Hi,” I said, “What are you doing here?”
The answer he gave, “We were in the area and decided to drop off an early Father’s Day gift.”
I realized I had to follow him. I did.
Stepping out of the back door, I saw . . .
Now mulched
Bryant and Barbara who worked so hard cleaning up this area a week earlier, had returned and put down bark mulch to control weeds. Wow!
Doesn’t it look great?
That was such a huge help and I’ll think of them every time I come in or go out the door.
I love it
Thanks Bryant and Barbara. Your gift is very much appreciated, and all the more so because you put yourselves into it.
Sylvia and I are so greatly blessed. So this week starts well and looks even better.
Very nice! I know you’ll enjoy this every day.
I will enjoy it and be humbled by it. Barbara is very talented at this sort of thing, but she has terrible sinus problems. She pays a steep price for doing this. Only love can explain it.
Fantastic gift! One gives of his time from a heart of love.
It speaks of love so much more eloquently that, say, a gift card.
I love mulch–it just makes everything look so neat and tidy. I do not, however, like to drag those bags home from the store and disperse them amongst the Back 40. We just did 26 bags and have to go back for another 15. :surrender:
It does give a garden a finished look, helps control weeks and helps retain moisture. The best part was, our son and daughter-in-love did the work. They are the greatest!
“Granny’s Garden” looks lovely with the mulch! Nothing says “LOVE” like giving of yourself and your time!! You are indeed blessed, Chuck! Happy Father’s Day to you!! :yea:
Thanks, Joy. I believe you nailed it! :up:
