How Does Your Garden Grow?

I'm so excited to have a garden this spring! Shonn and Beckett started our peat pots (I think that's what they are called; thankfully, I'm married to a horticulture genius!).  Shonn is such a great dad - he was teaching Beckett all about the seeds and talking to him about growing plants the whole time.  He is so patient and really teaches while he spends time with him.  Warms my heart.

We are going to have carrots, green beans, tomatoes, and cantaloupe.  (And maybe strawberries?)

Home and Garden

Shonn did an awesome job setting up and running a booth for the Home and Garden show this weekend!  He is so good at talking with people, and this was a great opportunity to connect with previous customers as well as continue building his company's reputation.  He worked really hard - setting up Thursday until after 9:00, spending 12 hours a day there on Friday and Saturday, and tearing down yesterday until after 5.  It was a long weekend, and I'm appreciative of his hard work to make his business continue succeeding!

Fall Decorations

 

Saturday morning, Beckett and I went to Grammy and Papa’s house.  Our mornings start a littler earlier than theirs, so I felt badly when their dogs barked and woke Papa up.  He came outside and met us, where we were inspecting the goldfish in their pond.  We measured Beckett’s hand in the handprint from this summer and his hand was only a little bit bigger.  Then we loaded up mums and pumpkins mom and dad got at the produce auction in Arthur.  After we got them all loaded up in the back of The POS, we took them to our house for decorating.  As you can see, Beckett was a big help to Papa as we got everything unloaded, watered, and decorated.  It was a perfect day to be outside, and we had a lot of fun.  I think Beckett's natural decorating with outdoor materials will be a huge asset to Hild Landscaping. :)

We celebrated with a cupcake Beckett made with Grammy earlier in the week.

 

 

School's Out Forever

Well, August 1 marked the first time Shonn hasn't begun preparing for back-to-school since he was 5 years old!  I am so proud of him for making his dream a reality and for the hard work he does for our family.  He is so amazing at managing people, meeting with customers, designing creative outdoor spaces, and making landscapes more beautiful. He has an excellent reputation for kindness, going above-and-beyond, being trustworthy and a hard worker, as well as doing excellent work. We have a lot of long-range plans for the business and I have no doubt he will make it a success.  Here are a just a few pictures of the numerous jobs he has designed, managed, and implemented this year.
