Another Saturday, another day spent planting flowers and spreading mulch. It's looking pretty dang good around here lately! I think we overbought on the mulch though, so I am going to have to decide what to do with the remainder. I will probably spread it out front and forego the rock this year, since we bought too much. That's okay though....I don't mind. Monday will be another lawn day for me, and a treehouse day for dh. He got the steps built today which means the walls are next!
I went to Lowe's this morning and spent a small fortune on flowers and plants. They look very nice although I need to go back and get some more for the front. I bought some purple fountain grass....it's cool! I also got impatiens which I love. Ummmm, a gardenia plant and confederate jasmine were on my list as well. I just love that jasmine! It smells so good.
I think I overdid it today. I got sick to my stomach out there! I was so hot I couldn't see straight....so I jumped in the pool, clothes and all. I couldn't help it! It was quite refreshing. I paddled around for a bit and enjoyed the quiet....Betsy worked all day and wee one went blueberry picking with her aunt. Dh wouldn't get in with me because he wasn't ready to stop working....party pooper.
While wee one was at my aunt's house, my aunt gave her a piano book and cd to practice with. Wee one loves playing the piano and has a natural talent for it. Anyway, as my aunt dropped her off at home, she hugged wee one and said, "I'll see you later my little pianist!" Wee one got the strangest look on her face and said to me, "Why did she call me her little penis?" I tell ya, that kid cracks me up!
Tonight we will be relaxing and enjoying a quiet evening at home. No one got to bed before midnight last night. We took Betsy to work, then dh, wee one and I took my mom to dinner. Afterward, we went for a drive, and then stopped in to see Betsy and get some ice cream. Since we were two blocks from mom's house, we just stayed there till Betsy's shift ended at 11:00 then went home. It was kinda fun actually. Nicer than me picking her up that late all alone. I have a feeling there will be four sleeping people in this house by 9:00!
Have a good night all!

Sounds like my kind of day working in the yard and then jumping in the pool. We love to do that around here. Send the mulch over to my house, I could really use some more. We never seem to get enough. I guess it is mulching on a budget :(

WOW you have got to share pics of your hard work. Man we were outside practicing our Ruth musical we will be putting on and 20 MPH winds againa nd cold. We all had blankies and everything. I do not know waht kind of wave we are in but it sure stinks to keep having marhces weather in May. SO much for global warming. Your daughter cracks me up. I got to share that story withmy family too. you ll have to get aol byphone when she learns her first song to play for us. Yeah Its a early time night for me too.
Can't wait to see pictures of all your hard work! Too bad hubby wouldn't come into the pool with you, that could have been fun!!! I used to love jumping in my pool fully clothed when it was hot! And, you better watch out, with Betsy working at that ice cream store, things can creep up on ya'! LOL! Can't she work at a Health food stor or something? Nah, that wouldn't be any fun!
Hugs and love, Lisa

I made it it bed last night around 10pm. That's early for me and I was up at the crack of dawn. Well 9am. LOL And I too went to lowes yesterday but they are over priced so then I went to homedepot and spent a fortune. Not on garden stuff like you though. Have a nice memorial day.
