Simply Sunday: Dirt Store

Simply Sunday - Dirt Store
Andrew and I had a great day working on the garden today. I built some garden boxes in my backyard last weekend and they needed to be filled with soil...

Melanie takes piano lessons through the Studio Nine School of Music. She loves to play and she never complains about practicing. She also gets very excited about playing at the regular recitals organized by the school. In fact she had her song for this recital picked out weeks ago!
