Yeehaw for HeeHaw..
The garden show yesterday was fun - and we only bought a single thing! a book on purple martins, since we've had this fantastic house installed in our backyard, and have not a single bird in it...we even put a 'decoy' martin on it this year, but still nothing...Purple Martins return to the same house each year (they winter way down south, I'm not sure where - the book will tell me!), and since we've never had a family, we have none to return to us...BUT, we'll get one, even if I have to drive to all the Purple Martin super secret hiding places and lure them with peanuts and crackerjack...
So, after the show we hit a few of our fave nurseries and picked up some succulents (MORE?!?!)...
and today my job is to rework all the pots and cacti/succulents that I've bought the past few weeks...some of the pieces need some holes drilled in them...I also put a few more purple basil, tri color sage, lime thyme, dill and other goodies in the front yard...and Bagheera needed to roll over some of it and crush them, of course...he was hilarious...Brian picked him up and took him to the backyard for me, cause I was laughing so hard I couldn't get him outta there...the butterflies were warming up their wings in the fennnel after hatching...
The best part is that the backyard walkway is coming along...the weed barrier is pinned in, and the dark grey stones are starting to be placed...we're working on that today, after some much needed breakfast...
But will there be BEADS again? Yes, I promise there will be...after today, I'll be working on beads all next week...I was actually dreaming of colors to pull last night, (in my dream some little kid came in and knocked all my glass on the floor and his mom just told him not to cut himself - "Mind ya don't cutchaseff, Mordecai" haha..a little Raising Arizona reference...)..So we'll see what happens...In the meantime, we're taking pics and i'll post some so you can see what we're doin'...enjoy your spring sunday...
