Open Mouth...

Insert foot.

You would think after 25 years, I'd have realized that just b/c I think it, it doesnt need to be said. Will I ever learn?!?!?!

Jesus, fill me with you!!

Has it been that busy?

Nah....I call it lazy!

I have been busy working in our yard. I'm trying my hand at gardening and also on relaxing and not taking life so seriously.

Our yard was basically a mess because we let it all sorta do it's thing last summer. This year, I told John, let's get it to be OUR yard. I made him dig up some nasty monkey grass. I did a small flower bed, he did the bigger ones. We got flowers! :) I'm so proud of my yard. I decided that working in the yard was enjoyable and it worked. I have enjoyed it. I don't like watering, but it's something that has to be done. I'm gonna brag on my yard by posting pics -- I know.....I never do, so here they are :)

This is our roses that we planted last year and they never bloomed. The one in the middle is the one that was blooming and we looked at the day John proposed :) :)

A close up of our roses!! Aren't they so pretty?? I'm really proud!

The corner of our front yard. Impatiens and a hydrangea. John's mom also brought me a little white flower that's called "bleeding heart".

Front of our house. I am waiting on my pink bleeding heart to bloom. More color is necessary, but I'm done for this year :)

These impatiens went CRAZY right after I planted them, I'm so impressed with how easy these suckers are.

Our mail box -- geraniums and petunias in the same color :)

Our newest flower bed. I think it's my favorite because of all the different colors we put in here.

John's mom raises daylilies and the 2 big green ones are daylilies (which are about to bloom now!) the other is called columbine, I have no idea what it looks like when it blooms.

This is the other flower bed that was already here when we moved in. We have hyacinths and daylilies in there.

Our deck and the edge of the pond. We got those roses and the daisy (the pot on the left side).

Our pond and the flower beds behind. Those were FULL of nasty stupid monkey grass. We worked REALLY hard to get it cleaned out. We have daylilies, coral bells, vinca, and hibiscus in those beds. I'm so excited. This is the part that looks the most changed. It looks so amazing!

This is the most amazing plant! It's purple and green striped. I have no idea what it is, but i LOVE it!!

Well, it's time to think about the crafts I want to tackle, I have discovered -- I need projects. I'm no good at sitting around...which explains the bad blogging habits! ha ha
