Making My Mother Proud

So yesterday I decided to go against my very nature and try planting something. (Get it? Nature...gardening.)

I bought some seed packets a little garden shovel (which I discovered is actually called a 'trowel', who knew?)

I have no idea how to plant flowers. I just read the back of the packets.

I mean how do I measure 1/4 inch underground?

Despite the fact that my flowers will likely never bloom, the weather was really nice and it was relaxing.

I took pictures because that seemed to be the thing to do on this momentous occasion.

Proof that I actually did something.

Yup, that's what the ground looks like. Exciting huh?

Greasy bangs are allowed ok?

Mom, please know that you haven't completely failed me. I may just become a woman yet.
