Glad it was Warm Outside

We got home from some where the other night, for the life of me, I don't remember where we had been. Mattie May took off running to the side of the house. I was hollering at her to stay in the front with me, but I was too late.

She had already found the water faucet which was hooked up to the sprinkler!

(Sorry the picture is blurry! I did well to get a picture at all!)

Summer Sunday Afternoon

This past Sunday, after supper, we spent some time in the yard with Mattie May playing in the sprinkler and on her four wheeler. She is just the cutest thing and she makes us laugh all the time. Attached are a few pictures and videos of our afternoon. The last video is about seven minutes long, but she was having such a good time and I was afraid I would miss something if I stopped recording!

Yard Work

I know some of my bloggy friends are up North where it is still cold. But here in Texas, we have once again skipped through Spring and are beginning Summer. I think it got in the high 80's today and there was work to be done in the yard. So Grumpy let Mattie May help him today. I hope this will bring some warmth to those of you that are still cold.

First, she gave water to Kot'n (our dog). She is very good about feeding and watering her.

Then, wearing Lolo's gardening gloves, helped Grumpy water the yard.

She took a little break from the hose by squeezing the water out of the gloves into the grass.

She then decided this was the way she wanted to water.

Ok, through with the gloves, she goes back to helping with the hose.

By this time she was so wet and just kept running around the planter and into the stream of water Grumpy had going.

She actually did help by getting most of the grass watered. It helps that we have such a small yard, so it doesn't take long to get it finished, even if it is the first time you were doing the watering. We will be getting some more flowers in the next couple of weeks. I can't wait for her to help get those planted.
