Now what does that mean to a retired person? It still means the weekend is beginning very soon!
I hope you are not tired yet of my flowers that are blooming.
This Angel's Trumpet plant is my most special plant. Cricket, the first person to become my online friend in 2008, gave me a cutting from her tree in Georgia. She passed away many, many years ago. Gone but NEVER forgotten!
Our flower bed is finished. It took 6 bags of mulch. However, the flower bed below is not completely finished. We got 8 bags put down in it before we ran out of energy.
Now I would like to brag about our granddaughter Michelle. She and a friend made a video for their sign language class that is so professional. She also aced her first vet CDE comp on Thursday! She was second in her class! Our granddaughter Nicole is making beautiful flower arrangements in one of her classes. Our grandson Will lifted 400 pounds at the gym this past week. We are very proud Grandparents.
Thursday is here and the weekend can't be far behind.
I know some of you are still having cool weather but I am hoping you will warm up soon!
As you know our temperatures are all over the place. Today will be in the upper 80's; however, a cool front is coming through tomorrow.
Tuesday all 3 of our girls got a brushing and a bath by Rbt.
Then while I was working on Wednesday, all 3 got to go for a car ride and got their nails trimmed.
So now we are back to working in the yard spreading our 16 bags of mulch in several of our flower beds. Thanks for your friendship! Blessings & Hugs! Pam
Tuesday, our Tacos & Run Errands Day. We got 16 bags of mulch yesterday on sale but they will have to wait until the coming weekend. I am working on Wednesday because they will all be at a meeting.
Spotting the Blimp yesterday reminded me how much I love Hot Air Balloons. We have been to Plano to watch them and it will be time this summer for the Festival again.
Just imagine up in the air and no one else around. Peace and solitude.
Or lots of other beautiful balloons all around you!
And looking down or off in the distance at all things God has created.
Up Up and Away! I will be back on Thursday! Blessings & Hugs! Pam
What a weekend! Thank goodness Monday is here. We worked in the yard this weekend but we are NOT finished.
However, all the strawberries on all the 5 plants have been eaten.
On Saturday, our homemade greenhouse got completely cleaned out. Plants got trimmed and dead leaves thrown away. Yes, I may have gotten a little "pink" after over 6 hours as it was just above 90°.
But so many plants are blooming including all 5 of our Rose bushes.
And most everything else has lots of buds like all my different colors of Amaryllis. I can't wait to see which colors bloom first.
Yes, all the plants got to go back under the shade that the lattice provides on Sunday. Next is buying 20 bags of mulch to be put down.
And thank you for those that ask about Reba. She is still going in and out of the Doggie Door on her own. Blessings & Hugs! Pam
I had the best day at work ever yesterday. I made 39 phone calls, left 15 voice messages, but talked to 24 clients. It was wonderful.
Thursday we took the plastic off of all the plants and put it away, hopefully there will be no more temperatures near freezing.
The Hostas and Ferns are doing so well. Just a few weeks ago, I thought that one of the Hostas would never come back this year. God's timing is perfect.
Got some of the Ivy plants hung up in the shady areas so the 90° sunshine doesn't burn them. Spring will cool off next week!
The prolific Airplane plants are happy in the shade of the Juniper trees too.
Today in between college baseball, softball, and basketball games. I hope to get these beautiful blooming plants set out all around the backyard. I could surely use your help. I hope you have a wonderful weekend! Blessings & Hugs! Pam
