Today we were planting flowers and shrubs in memory of dad. As we were planting we all remembered advice Grandpa Myles had given us about planting. Steve remembered that he told him to slice the roots a little bit vertically so they expanded. We did this as we planted a new shrub. Anna remembered that he said to dig a little hole and put your flower in there. Ellie thought about some of his favorite flowers when she picked out her wave petunias. Erik enjoyed the good salty popcorn from Sargeants and we all laughed because that was one of grandpa's favorite treats.
We felt close to dad today as we dug in the dirt and prettied up our yard.
