Leave it to me to not be able to leave things alone !! was out walking around my flower beds and got to thinking,, hummm this one still looks quite crowded now that things are filling out ect.. well maybe I’ll take this out and that out and make room there,, maybe this would look good over here ect.

So now I’m waiting for my good friend Tammy to come and give me a lift up to Walmart to get about 6 more bags of black earth because now I have a bunch of Hosta’s and daisy’s ect that need new beds to go in so I’m going to put them along the building and fill in the rest of that side since I only had a small patch of hollyhocks there and some dogwood.

so now I’ll have a week or so of “droopy” plants that will be trying hard to get their footing again and get straightened up.

Will this be the end of my moving things around ??  Likely not !!

I won’t post any pictures until the droopiness goes away and the plants are back to standing tall and proud.. LOL

stay tuned next week I’ll put some new pics on here..

Have a great hump day folks.

Kevin and Wendell thought they were smart and sent this to me .. they didn’t think I would get it,, But I DO know the answer to this question, do you ??

You’ve been sentenced to death in an obscure foreign country which has a strange law. Before the sentence is carried out, two papers — one with “LIFE” written on it and one with “DEATH” written on it — are folded up and placed in a hat. You are permitted to pick out one of the papers (without looking), and if you choose the one with “LIFE” written on it, you are set free. Otherwise, the death sentence is carried out. On this occasion, a mean-spirited acquaintenance of yours, bent on your demise, has substituted the paper with “LIFE” written on it with another one with “DEATH” written on it. This person gleefully informs you of what he has done and that you are doomed to die. You are not permitted to speak to anyone about this misdeed, nor will you have a chance to switch the papers or the hat yourself in time. How will you avoid certain death?

Well got a few things accomplished today,

The downstairs is all cleaned up now and the floors are scrubbed ect.

Wendell gave Tango a bath today so that is done,, Giz is next but I’m going to pick up a thining comb to comb him out a bit and need to pick up new nail clippers for him so I can do that while he’s getting bathed as well.. Thats tonight !!

Just the bathroom left to clean and then bath Giz and I’ll be done for the day.

but first we need to eat some supper !!

Tomorrow morning we head to Ch’town to take Loralee to the airport. She’ll be gone until July 17th. Hopefully she has a great visit and enjoys her time away.

tomorrow evening I think Karla and Earl are coming down we’re hoping to order in some chinese food for supper . YUMMY !

I was in to visit them last night when I went up for my Uncle’s wake, seen lots of family that we don’t see often. seems that’s the only time we see one another is at the funeral home !

For now must get some supper and finish up my Saturday cleaning and dog bathing !! then its off to get a few groceries .. whoohaaa

Ok its now 10 pm ,, both dogs are now bathed, and the house is all cleaned,, AND the groceries are bought and put away !! yeeehaaa~~

now its time for  a nice hot shower and relax for the remainder of the evening.

Have a great weekend folks !

Here is what my Iris’s looked like yesterday,,,,(click on thumbnail to see actual size pic).

Amazing how fast things bloom !!  You can see the remaining ones are almost ready to bloom they will all be in bloom by tomorrow !!

Hope everyone had a great Hump day!!

Well it rained last night and cooled things down a bit,  but it was a great weekend over all with sun shiny days !!

Friday was pretty quiet, Loralee was over for the day, and then Tammy came over after supper and her and I went to Linkletter beach the tide was way out so we walked on the sandbars for an hour and half it was beautiful down there !

Saturday Wendell and I got around and got ready to head up to Karla’s we took her “little brother” Camryn with us since he hadn’t been up yet to see Earl and Karla’s home,  we had a wonderful day !! (photo albums on facebook of our day).

We brought Tango with us and spent part of the day at Karla’s and part of the day down at Cedar Dunes beach,  After supper Camryn helped Earl do the barn work and then we headed home.  we got home around 8 pm and after dropping Camryn off at his place Wendell and I took Giz and went in to see his mom we brought her a big bouquet of lilac’s that we picked from the old home place , after that we dropped over to Viv and Sheltons for a few minutes and it was around 10:30 when we finally got home for the evening.  as you can see in the picture Tango isn’t one for the water, he loved the beach but was afraid of the waves and wouldn’t go in the water.

Sunday was a lazy day didn’t do to much, went over to Valu Foods and did a little grocery shopping and then to the library , after that came back home and BBQ’d for supper .

Tammy was in for a visit last evening.

Over all a pretty quiet weekend.

Hope all is well in your neck of the woods !
