My life runs on such an even keel that I am always surprised when things happen to me and they are small things.....minute and inconsequential but as I age it takes me longer to recover from them whether it be a cut or a bruise or just trying to tread water and maintain my lifestyle. This week it was "critters" breaking my newly planted pots, the dryer broke and the bird feeding station fell to the ground. There were some other pesky things that happened too but when I look at people who have serious illnesses or losses or pain.....I cannot complain. It did, however, keep me off of my computer!
Spring has morphed into Summer overnight...when did this happen? While I was sleeping I suppose.
It is officially Summer here as I made my first batch of sun tea....
The bearded iris are blooming..............
along with the coral bells........
the pansies are still going strong and there's a "volunteer" lettuce that must have reseeded from last year.....
and a few other "newcomers" that I have no idea where they came from but they're all welcome!
I went to Wal-Mart and picked up a few "extras" for Mother's Day............ the premier issue of Rodale's Organic Life magazine.........
some crazy nail polish colors I have been attracted to for some strange reason...I have no nails to speak of..............but fun isn't limited to the young! And look at all those fabulous colors I got for $5.00! What should I try first?
and 2 clematis plants.....I want some colorful vines to cover up some eyesores....LOL!
I haven't planted them yet.........
I did get my herbs planted and re-planted after the "critter attack"......
and I got this huge hen and chicks pot full..........
I'll be sharing more tomorrow now that I have some of the major chores done for Spring.
Happy Trails!
