Look, Mom, I'm Helping...

I think that's what my dog, Salsa, was thinking when she started chewing open a bag of garden soil. And, who can be mad at this adorable face....


Notice the dirt in her teeth, on her tongue, and in her beard. lol Here's what she did...


We had just brought home some bags of soil and a bunch of plants for our back yard. We went inside for a moment and when we came out we saw Salsa hard at work. She's such a funny girl. She always tries to help and we truly believe that. When we pull weeds she starts trying to pull them up too. When we trim plants, she starts tugging on the branches. When I trim old roses off the rose bushes, she bites the roses and pulls them off. It's like she really understands what's going on and wants to help. So sweet!

I made sure she understood that she could hang out but that we didn't need her help and I went on plant my 2010 herb garden and some flowers for our patio. She went back to playing, running a-muck and checking on us from time to time. The weather on Saturday was beautiful and we spent as much time outside as we could to enjoy it as much as possible. We gardened, dined, and relaxed in our backyard a lot. It was wonderful! I tried another recipe with lemons from our tree too. It was sooooo tasty! It was Meyer Lemon Sorbet. It was super easy and so good.
