HOW DOES YOUR GARDEN GROW

One of our recent Friday Fun Days was to create fairy and dinosaur gardens. While that may sound simply adorable, mind you this is Arizona. And it is hot. Ridiculously hot. We made a trip to Home Depot as a family to gather supplies. 45 minutes in the 115 degree heat. Gross. But we found the perfect plants for our activity. At home, another 45 minutes in the 115 degree heat while assembling. By the end, I had retreated to my cool, dark bedroom to revive. Awesome activity in theory, but still trying to decide whether it was worth my brief lapse in sanity.
