Tuesday

Its in the 80's in Ohio... Alert the press.

I did some planting today... and cleaned off the back porch.

See that rug under those 2 beautiful wicker chairs? Yes, that huge heavy duty rug was $3 at my favorite Goodwill Outlet. It is about 2' wide by 6-7' long.

See those chairs... $15 for both at a garage sale. They just needed a can of spray paint.

See that huge clock hanging there? I did that. It involved a ladder, screws, rope and a drill. It was very heavy and very hard, but I did it. It looks great out there now!! I still want a few pillows for the chairs and a place to eat..like a table!! We need a patio set pretty bad. I'm trying to find one on Craig's list but cant seem to find any good deals.

Tomorrow I am taking Baxter to get fixed. My poor baby... I feel really bad. Little does he know that in less than 24 hrs he will no longer to produce babies.

Anyone want to do my laundry? I still have a huge pile of clothes from LAST Monday that need to be hung up... seems like I will do ANYTHING that takes me away from laundry... I hate laundry.

Venus Flytrap

I have a plant… a beautiful plant… but at the rate it is growing, it is going to eat my house!

I planted this beautiful Morning Glory vine on April 1th.

On April 14th, it had already grown 1.5 feet.

I decided to mark its growth so I could actually see how much it was growing.

I did that with a stick. 7 days later I measured. It had grown 9 inchs in 1 week! I am not exadurating.

In the last 16 days, this thing has grown up towards 2 feet. I am really excited that it grown so fast, but geese! It’s scaring me!

what if my plants turns into this?!

My plants are dying

The weather was nice this weekend…if you think 91* is nice! I mean it’s April..who would have thought we would have already turned on our Air Conditioner this early on in the season… Not me.

The heat I was so excited to have has killed all of my plants. 4 Azalea’s and 3 NEW hydrangea’s. I am seriously very very upset about this. They are on life support right now and I don’t think they will make it. I mean, if I was a plant and went from living in 65* weather to the next day being scorched in 91* weather, I might not feel to good either.



I think I might send the Sun a bill for these plants that he killed… It’s going to be pretty expensive since some of these plants were from last year and had matured… While im at it…I think I’ll send another one for me missing a day of work for being sick with allergies from all the new plants that just bloomed

Spring Blooming

Here are some pretty flowers from the garden. Spring is officially here!

Matt has been working pretty hard reshaping the front flower beds. Here is the finished project.

Before- Rounded

Now-straighted edged...a much smaller and more manageable flower bed
