Landscaping

Well this weekend I finally got something done in my yard! There was nothing before so anything is an improvement! I am not posting everything I did because I still have a few more things to plant tonight, so I will only post the parts that are pretty much done (except for the bark and edging.





Tonight I am hoping to get the rest of the stuff in the front planted and then this weekend we want to work on getting the edging in. I am not sure about if we should try to do the bark yet because we still have to do the whole other side of the house, which we will need a lot more bark for, so we may wait for that.


Oh! I should add, I know those Hostas are going to get way big, but I didn't want to only put a couple in, and have a big bare area, so when they get bigger I will take them out as I need to.


And how cool are those Heuchera on the bottom left of the last picture, you can't tell from the picture, but they are really cool, I think they will show better when I get some bark in. I should have taken a close up pic of them. Here is a pic I found of it:



I am also thinking about getting a flag pole to go in front of the roses and then planting a few more around it, but I am not sure yet, I don't know how much flag poles cost! I really want one though. We'll see!

Okay, I HAD to post this...

Yesterday I was supposed to watch my mom's puppy after work, I got them both in their carriers and put them by the door while I loaded up my car and opened the windows and stuff so it wasn't SO hot in it. And I turn around to see this...



How cute!


Sorry my blog is becoming all puppy all the time! Hopefully my next one I will have something more to write about!

Wet puppy!

I didn't post these the other day, but I can't resist any longer! We gave Elsie a bath the Monday, and she looked SO cute and she looked so tiny because all of her puffiness was gone!




Of course yesterday we brought her outside and she was all over rolling in the dirt again! I guess the next bath isn't that far away!


I just remembered I should probably update on my nephew, his surgery went well, and he is doing great, and running around, which is surprising ALL the guys that see him!

Grandma

My grandma fell again. Yesterday she fell, I guess she fell on her butt and was okay, my mom just went over there to help her up and she seemed good. But then this morning we got another call and she had fallen again. My mom went over with my cousin to help her up and my mom said she is going to get her a nurse to come twice a day and help her get along, she just can't seem to do it on her own. Luckily she doesn't seem to be hurt or anything, but we don't want it to happen again, but she is convinced she will get better, but she is just too old! So any prayers would be great, especially prayers to ease her stubborn ways and be taken care of!

Happy Birthday Marilyn!!!!!!


I don't really have anything to blog about today, I just had to post my Happy 80th Birthday to Marilyn Monroe! I am a huge fan, so I just had to post something today! I have my Marilyn shirt on today to celebrate, I know, I am a dork, but I don't care!!


Here is my favorite Marilyn picture:



I wish I had my pics from when I went to LA, to see Marilyn stuff, maybe I will copy them tonight and post some tomorrow. I also want to post the pictures of the plants I planted by my mailbox this weekend, and the arbor I finally set up!




I am bored so I am adding a pic of Marilyn on her last birthday...
