Not many people realize he is also an avid gardener.

Not many avid gardeners use a pick.

Peonies are beautiful. I wish I could grow them in Texas. Alas, they are a cold climate wonder.

I like to see that Obama stops to smell the roses.

The sad thing about Coach is I bet alot of us assume he is yelling at the pic....

And I bet alot of us are right in that assumption.

I absolutely need a pickaxe if I want to do any gardening in my back yard. (I'm eyerolling at my yard, not your comment.) This house was built on top of a demolished school because it was the 40s or early 50s they did not haul the rubble away, they just built on top of it. The ground is full of bricks - I excavate an average of 3 bricks every time I plant a 2 gallon bucket of flowers. It's actually pretty amazing how the plants are perfectly happy sending out their roots through the various nooks and crannies between bits of rubble. The small animals like field mice, garter snakes, and squirrels seems to like it too: lots of tiny caverns, overhangs, and places to hide.
