In honor of Mother's Day here are some old photos of me with my mother. I was truly blessed to have parents that cared so much for me, and for each other, and who worked so hard to make the most of what they had been given.
The sun is shining and I get to be home!! :-)
I HOPE it's dry enough to mow this afternoon. I have the bathroom all cleaned out and ready to paint with primer. Even the fish got moved--to the pool. And I have 8 new patio blocks that I need to dig spaces for. Hmm!!!! That sounds like enough for one day!! But, I have to make the most of it as I have to work tomorrow afternoon and this weekend there's another show, this time in Davenport.
I bought another blueberry yesterday as I read that you should have more than one variety for best results with them. So I have two Blueray and one Bluecrop. The raspberries are all Heritage. (There are five of them as one pot had a second tiny plant.) And I have two different rhubarb plants.
And of course I bought some more FLOWERS!! I got a white with crimson center dianthus (carnation) with a gorgeous scent. And Muscadet lilies (white with pink freckles). And lemon basil.
I got outside at 6:30 yesterday to plant more of the lilies I started and to divide and/or transplant some other things.
Other exciting news is that John C has agreed that we might get two or three hens WITHOUT having to butcher them at some point. I just am NOT doing that!! He'd just have to agree that my pet hens give us eggs in return!!!! (Better than the mice that Uno brings me!!)
So, I'm trying to be cheerful here and having a beautiful yard and a clean house makes me cheerful.
