Double duty here I go!

Yes, my workload has doubled for sure and my life in AR revolves around the weather.  I tried to get Easter "projects" done but it didn't happen.....no matter how I "focused" on it.  Sometimes I think "the hurrieder I go the behinder I get"!  LOL!  So, I will take my time.  Plus, I had to attend to my own chores or there would be no clean clothes or food to eat.   
Yesterday was Walmart and today I cleaned up the house and went outside to work.  I picked up some flowers at Wally World to brighten up my little corner of the world...............

I took down my fairy lights as they were "done"....they lasted about 6 months so now I need more.  I like them as they don't attract the bugs as the porch light does when I let the "girls" out at night.  I also washed the storm door glass inside and out and scrubbed the bench but it needs a new paint job!  One summer in the sun here and everything needs paint!

 I brought my ivy out too but I hope it's not too much for it.  It gets the morning sun.   It shouldn't be too hot yet...today was 81 F and there's rain predicted for Easter Sunday and Monday but I have no idea where it's coming from as I see nothing to the West at all....maybe from the South?  Louisiana has some rain but usually if it comes from the South or East it can be a humdinger! LOL!

 I also weeded and  'fed' my clematis which are in pots on both sides of my garage door.  I need to get some fresh cedar mulch too as they like their roots cool and that is not an easy feat here in the South in a container but they made it, obviously,  so I am very happy!  Despite the cedar mulch which is supposed to deter bugs....I have ants in this one.  Does anyone know if they will hurt the plant?

 I love the dark purple clematis but they get bleached out with the sun.....just look at my pots which used to be a much darker green!  It's a Southern exposure........

Well, I'm in for the night now and I am going to make Hot Cross Buns.....you're supposed to make them on Good Friday but you know me...."a day late and a dollar short"! LOL!
What do you have planned for this weekend?
Happy Trails!
