Ahhhhh SPRING!!!!
The boys have been outside playing alot for 2 days now... They each fell asleep eating last night as they hadn't napped... Dev napped today but Dilen just sorta rested a bit... baths and early bed tonight!!
I got my hands dirty this afternoon... I trimmed the weeds and last years growth off the snapdragon, fox glove, peonies and some little yellow star thingies... AND I finally started some seeds inside... Ok so it's a little late but I don't go out and do any planting in the flowerbeds til atleast Mother's Day so I should have a few good plants by then.. I am planting an assortment of cosmos - yellows and reds (I am excited for these as they did SOOO well in the one flowerbed two years ago and I couldn't find them anywhere when I shopped for plants last year - seems I was the only one to have any luck w/them on base so they didn't get them and I missed them at the 2 local nurseries) some purple queen bush beans (THANK YOU ELIZ!), some bush beans, corn, eggplant and stick carrots... I'll get some tomatos and another veggie of some sort when they come to stores... The base gives us 2 flats of flowers each spring around Mother's Day too so I will be busy, busy, busy come May... I can't wait... Now to figure out what exactly I am doing w/these starters! *L* I am ASSUMING I just water and tend them regularly til they sprout (ANYONE??) I have them in the window for sunlight... I am really having a good day!! WOO HOOO
Now to hope that the car repair goes as smoothly on Weds!! Everyone pray and cross your fingers!! Well it's off to feed the heathens... umm boys! *L* Til next time...
