I have been busy.
We bought almost all of the items we will need for lawn care a few weeks ago. We still need a hedge trimmer and a tiller for a garden I hope to plant. Hopefully planting a garden will not be as hard as it sounds. Well, hard is the wrong word because I don't mind the work but it sounds confusing. The cool season plants and exactly when to plant them and the warm season plants and oddly I looked up my area and there is only a few weeks difference in when I can plant the two different season veggies. So, I've made the wish list and will try sticking to it. Online it said the early spring plants were peas, potatoes, cabbage, spinach, and mustard greens. There are others of course but that list of 5 are the ones I am hoping to plant. I have to plant them around the middle of April when the weather is usually between 55 and 75 degrees. The warm season plants are cucumbers, watermelon, beans, squash, and tomatoes and their ideal weather is between 65 and 95 degrees. I also plan on having a herb garden. So... I will be busy busy learning how to plant a garden. I just hope some of the veggies end up being yummy. Probably not this year but eventually I want to learn how to can so that none of the veggies go to waste.
We finally have our fence put up. It is a beautiful 4 foot high chain link fence. It has two walk through gates and one drive through gate. The drive through gate has to be fixed though. The gap is too large and it opens even at the slightest nudge. Yesterday when I went to pick up the kids I left the two dogs outside. When I returned home the gate was open and the dogs were missing. Luckily I found them and we called the fencing company about the gate. They were suppose to come fix it today but the weather is bad so they might reschedule.
Speaking of weather... I am SICK of snow. This week started out so lovely and now the ground is covered in snow.
I went to my hometown over this past weekend to see my niece get dedicated to God. She looked totally precious in the dress that Nana made. I was surprised my mom had time to get it done but she did and it was beautiful. I was lucky enough to babysit for a few hours. I had my lil helper with me and she makes everything funny. Soph started crying so my daughter sang to her a few times. After a minute she had had enough though so she went and hid beside the bed. Noises bother her sometimes so I was not surprised but I did think it was adorable. My angel is absolutely precious and seeing how tiny Soph is makes me miss my two being that little. It was an enjoyable trip to Hendo with no stress and that is rare.
My CA sis recently changed her number. I am unsure of the purpose though because she never answers her phone so why bother even having one. Some people think I am bad about answering my phone and honestly I can be but OMG you have to call Nisey like a dozen times straight in a row to get her to answer. Usually by the time she answers, IF she does answer I am so frustrated that I don't even remember what I called for or I just don't care enough at that point to talk about whatever it was. I do miss her though... very much.
Enough for now... time for laundry.
I am glad it was stressfree! Love you!
