Day Six: Plant flowers

As dictated by the unwritten codes of suburbia, I started Saturday with a trip to Lowe's. I chose a variety of flowers and plants for the yard, porch, and pool area. Its easy to feel a sense of satisfaction at the end of a day spent working outside. JP and I rewarded ourselves with a cold Heineken on the freshly cleaned porch. Some dear friends joined us for grilled burgers and  porch chat. It was a near perfect day, duplicated in thousands of back yards across the country. Early morning grocery shopping, a lawn mower covered with cut blades of grass, a  smoking grill with a belly full of beef, barefoot kids covered with bug spray, and of course, an ice chest full of cold bottled beer. I love Saturdays!
