Another happy day =)
April 19th, 2009 by admin
I spent a good portion of yesterday digging in the dirt, got a little sunburned but not too badly. I got all the dead stalks cut down, re-did the mailbox flowerbed, and trimmed the rosebush a little bit. I’m hoping that will send those little house finches somewhere else to nest this year, but I don’t know if it will work. I could hear them fussing nearby the whole time I was near the bush, though there’s no nest in it at the moment. They must consider it their very own bush lol. There’s still a lot of work to be done though. Things to be trimmed, stuff to be re-located, and the never ending weed battle of course. And as always, it’s a work in progress. I really need to get some larger plantings in the front bed, something with some height, but that will have to wait another season probably.
But that’s ok because I have plenty of other things going on to keep my mind of the plainness of the flowerbeds.
Going in chronological order there is MS&W in just two! weeks (Kell are ya ready?) and shortly after that my oldest son will be coming to visit =) I bought the plane tickets last night! The only downside is that B will still be in school while his brother visits, but he’ll be here for two weeks so they’ll have lots of time to get to know each other. B gets home by 2:30 every day anyway so there’s still lots of hours left in the day =)
I’m really looking forward to MS&W this year. I won’t have much money to spend, but the experience alone is what makes it so great =) We had so much fun last year! Now that we know what to expect we can enjoy it even more this year.
Well, I better go kick B out of bed. Time to get him back on a normal sleep pattern since he goes back to school tomorrow. Or, school will be back in session. I’m not certain he’ll go. They’ve had some arrests recently of kids at his school who were planning some sort of attack(?) on the school for tomorrow. I guess in honor of the ten year anniversary of Columbine. There will be bomb sweeps and increased police presence at all of the schools in the area. It’s either gonna be the safest day for him to attend school, or the scariest. I’m leaning towards letting him stay home if he wants. Not that he’ll get a free day of lazy, no, we will be trimming trees and bushes and he’ll be mowing the yard and things of that nature. But we’ll see what he wants to do I guess.
Hope you have a lovely Sunday! It’s going to be another pretty day here =)
