El Hibiscus

The weather has been ridiculously cold lately, but we did have some warm weather in April. And during that brief moment, we did some yard maintenance. Joaquin helped Daddy move the hibiscus plant by squeezing into the gap between it and the wall and pushing the strap to Daddy. Sometimes being small has advantages He also had a great time digging the new hole while Daniel had to work at getting the hibiscus out of it's old hole. It was actually one of the first times that Joaquin has been allowed on the plant ledge for a significant period of time. Daniel was very amusing to watch as he would dig for a second, panic and turn to make sure Joaquin wasn't too close to the edge. He really did great and listened really well to Daniel's slight paranoid. But not even dirt to plan in can keep a boy's attention for too long, especially when it's getting hot. So of course when he got down, this is what happened. Really, how did people entertain children before running water? Maybe that's why they all wanted to live near streams. Nothing is more fun than a hose. Especially when you have the excuse of 'watering' the transplated hibiscus (it's nowhere near where he's watering in these pictures.) Makes me yearn for spring.
