Well, today was a very busy one.
Tim had to go to work, which was NOT something we had expected and we were bummed because we were hoping for a nice family weekend.
So after breakfast and household duties, the boys and I packed into the van for a trip to Bel Air. They had allowance to burn and I needed to drop our signed tax forms off with the tax guy.
Then we went to Lowes. I wanted to get a few gardening tools, some soil and Azalea food.
We found the paving stones that I want to use in the front yard. It will look so nice when it's done, I hope!
Then we came home for lunch and a break. I really needed to plan school for the week, but instead I called Judy and she said to come on up and check out what she had to give away.
Boy! She has so much!
We got a bunch of birdfeeders. I am going to hang most of them from the tree in the back.
I got a strawberry pot, the kind that you plant the berries in down the sides. That will be neat. Several hangers for feeders or plants. Some interesting "yard art" which I will have to take pictures of, and lots of cool watering ideas, a few trellises and some tools. I am so excited about getting going on the front. I am going to see if the old mower will run tomorrow. It needs it already. Then I will feed the lawn and finish the weeding ind de-mossing in the boxes in back.
Oh, Judy also gave me some little pots to start seeds in. We can get them going in the house and then just pop them in the ground when it's a little warmer.
Tim bought the mulch for the beds so I can spread that tomorrow.
It will be a busy Spring but I can't wait to see how much we get done. John has some birdfeeding ideas and he is really enjoying our planning. I will let the boys help me plant the seeds this week and we will also have to read up on the different kinds of birdseed to get to feed different types of birds. Judy had fun showing the boys the mealy worms that she feeds the Bluebirds. I think she is going to miss her Bluebirds the most!
Tomorrow is Palm Sunday already. Only one week until Easter.
Little Paul will be 5 on Tuesday!! We are going to get him a new bike, and he wants a CD player for his room.
Boy, how time flies!
I'm going to go do that planning now!
