Maddie Nests...

I love seeing Andy nest. When Andy nests, then Maddie takes his lead and she nests too. It's good for the soul!!!

Today, Andy helped clean up Mom's back patio. When we were falling asleep last night, I "heard" it raining so I went outside to inspect and found that it was only "raining" in one spot on the patio. The sprinkler system had sprung a leak so Andy (and Maddie kind of-sort of) helped repair it this morning. Once Andy got started though, he went nuts. He re-potted tomato plants, planted columbines, put that basil plant into the ground, blew all the leaves off the patio and most importantly installed a misting system over the patio. It actually works quite well as it brought the temperature down from 110 to 85 in that area!!!



As dad finished up, Maddie came inside to nest even more. She is a girly girl and helped to paint both Grandma Dotty's nails and my nails. She is actually getting quite good at this! I still am thankful that she chooses the lightest pinks though as it doesn't show up on the skin like bright red. Good job Maddie and thanks for taking charge on the "How To" of painting your nails!
