Well I have all but one of the flower beds dug up, all the sod hauled away and dumped behind the building, rocks are gone, and the soil has been turned (at least as good as I could get with just a shovel). all the plants from last year are in planters until I get the boards and extra soil/fertilizer put in the beds. Took most of the day to get them dug up but they are done!! even the corners where I want to put my Hosta’s when they arrive.

The only one left to do is the one out by the fence and I’m not 100% sure just what I want to do with that one yet so I’ll wait and think on that for a day or two.

I noticed that my Hosta’s from last year are finally peeking thru the soil and so are my Peonies. 

Next week sometime I hope to start putting the boards around the beds, and getting the new soil dumped in. 

Want it to look half decent when I have my Yard sale next saturday,,, maybe I’ll postpone that until the 14th, I’ll see, it will either be next Saturday or the following Saturday, can’t put it off any longer than that.

I noticed while doing the flower beds I have a LOT of worms out there, I’m told that is a good indication that the soil is fairly rich and this is good for flower beds I don’t know if there is any truth to that or not but I hope its right!!

If I can get the yard looking nice this year, maybe next year I will splurg on a nice table and chair set to go out in the back yard, I noticed WalMart has a nice Wicker set , (2 chairs, a Seate and coffee table) for $200. that would be nice, and a BBQ to really enjoy it all

I am looking forward to enjoying my flower gardens ,,, what are you looking forward to this summer??

Its been blowing here since last night, high winds that sound like the side of the house is coming off!!

and its cold out

I want warm sunshiny days please!! 

I went thru some stuff and made a list of what I’ll put in my Yard sale next weekend. am going to get rid of some unwanted things and hopefully raise some money for the Relay for life, its coming up on June 10th, We’re still working on getting a team together if we can’t get enough people together we’re hopefully going to be able to join in with another team that isn’t full to capasity.

I’ve been pricing wood and supplies I will need to work on my flowerbeds this year, I can’t wait till I can start to work on that project!! if the weather would just co-operate!!

Karla is making plans to go back to Toronto to see MontlyCrue on Aug. 23rd, she is pretty excited about that.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!!

Today is Kevins 25th Birthday!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIDDO !!!

I asked that Kevin send me some pictures of him with his birthday gifts so I could scrapbook them, well he sent me pictures and not one shows his face!!

So Kevin dear, I hope you get some actual pictures I can use to scrapbook.  otherwise I guess next year will be simply a nice card to wish you a happy birthday. 

I have a really nice page done of Karla’s birthday and have it framed and hanging up on the wall, and was hopeing to do the same thing with some of Kevins birthday pictures, but the ones sent are absolutly useless.

I hope it was a joke and he’ll be sending the REAL pictures to me. 

I know you like to play jokes Kevin but that isn’t funny.

Is it really to much to ask to have 5 decent pictures to make a memory page???? 

Kevin did do something for his birthday that was very nice he climbed all the stairs in the CN tower to raise money for the wildlife association. he completed his climb in 1 hour and 21 minutes. Good for you Kevin!!!!

Its raining like crazy here today so no outside work for me today, I guess that means I have no excuse not to get my house cleaning done

maybe I’ll even get some transplanting done into some little pots, some of my seedlings are up so high they are getting spindly so they need to be planted soon, but its too soon for them to be planted outside, soooo I guess they will have to be put in pots until its time to put them in the gardens.

well time to get at the cleaning I guess,, just as soon as I finish watching a movie here. 

PS, it is now evening and Kevin has sent me the REAL pictures

Thanks KEVIN :>)

I did manage to get all the house cleaning done today too,, wooohoo.. hopefully tomorrow is a nice day so I can get some stuff done with some plants :>)
