The First Meeting of the Backyard Garden Club

Today Aunt Mary and Emma decided to garden. 

So, they got their supplies and headed to the cutting garden.

They sat down

and got to work.

And no sooner did they do that, then the rest of the bunch showed up.

Em gardened, as if she has been doing it her whole life.

And Aunt Mary put the rest of them to work too.

Mostly, they were in charge of pulling weeds and placing them in the bucket.

It was a very hard working bunch.

And when the bucket was full they were all happy to help bring it to be emptied.

All in all, it was a very successful first meeting.  

The children were so excited to be part of "a club".  

The older girls seemed honored, and they all loved that they got good and messy before lunch. 

A good time was clearly had by all!
