Have you ever seen a happier face?It was a perfect storm. I’d made up my mind not to take Mother to the garden center any more this summer, not that I have anything against garden centers. Mother is addicted to flowers, just like I am. She just isn’t strong enough to dig holes. In contrast, I’d never be able to convince anyone I couldn’t dig a hole.

No! No! No! I am related to your mother! I can’t dig holes. That’s where the similarity ends. My daughters might dig a hole for me if they were here, but I doubt it. My gardening consists of dabbling in pots and whacking all kinds of things in the garden. God bless you for digging holes for your mom. You are the best!

Interesting. I wonder if any of our neighbors have a post hole digger. I would like a laser one.
