Beverly at, How Sweet the Sound, is our host for today's and all the days we celebrate pink. Thank you Beverly for carrying on the awesome PINK tradition. Please visit Beverly's Blog for more pink than one can imagine.
Last week I shared some lovely pink flowers for a planting project. As promised, here is the project in action with my grands helping. Not to mention my son who dug all of the holes in that darn old hard clay. Thank you John and my darling grands for all your help.
Remember these...
They were not blooming as much when planted but they will bloom again after I trim the tops.
THIS WAS A MAJOR PROJECT!!!
John, my son and my hero. This is a tough job.
The grands were a big help. Thank you my darling grands.
Thank you Cody and Logan.
Thank you Molly and Roxie.
Thank you Caleb and Jacob.
Thank you John, Roxie and Ashley.
DONE!!! Now, I can't wait for growth and new blooms. I'm happy now!
I love you John and my darling grands,
Grandma

Jeanne
Well, I'll be first this Pink Saturday morning. Good morning, my dear Jeanne.
I'm so glad you had a great team, and they completed a great team project. Did you give them an extra prize for their hard work?
I woke about four this morning, and I tried to stay in bed, but I am not very good at that.
You girls drive safely.

My Mom just bought that same plant a couple days ago! They're going to be simply stunning next year, when they're all in bloom and the plants are even bigger. That was definitely alot of work, and your grands did a wonderful job!
Happy Weekend!

What sweethearts to do that for you, sweetpea! And what a gorgeous project that is. I'd love to have something like that in my backyard, but alas, it's much smaller than yours. Beautiful, chick!

What a Glorious Group!!! You have such a charming, delightful family, and that time spent together is past wonderful. Everyone is just so pretty, and so willing to be working together---that SHOWS, and I know how much of the credit for that is due to YOU, Grandma!!
And when the blooms come---the memories will be ever sweeter, perfumed with the thoughts and remembrances of this precious, precious time together.
Aren't we just SO fortunate??!

Love from ♥RINI♥ and a happy pink Saturday !

What a lovely completed project... but something much bigger is shown here. Love -- the love that you obviously have for them and their time spent on your behalf... but look at the twinkle in their eyes.
The love they have for you is so obvious and thanks for sharing.
You have been a very good mother and gramma to have this happen.
Thanks for sharing.

Jeanne, what a great group of helpers you have there! I mean they are the best!
I tried to comment earlier, and typepad wouldn't let me for some reason, so I'm back.
Big hugs to you, my sweet friend. I know you're having fun with your family!
XO,

Boy does that look like fun and to have all that help with the grands. I call my grandkids baby grands but I now have one in double digits so I don't know how long I will get away with it. Loved this post and everything looks great! Blessings Meg
