Happy Gardening Cont.

Strawberries, strawberries, yum yum yummy! One for the pail and two for the tummy! I can't wait.

Beautiful Peony. The trick will get it to look this nice next year.

I have no idea what these are, I bought them in a Costco Bulb mix last year. They are pretty cool I think.

A bit from my vegetable garden, here you are seeing sweet red peppers and lettuce.

Happy Gardening

So, I don't have any pictures, but I wanted to update my blog and say hi to any of you who may or not be loyal readers. I have been in my yard lately, and I have really enjoyed it. I always love doing yard work at the beginning of the season when the weather is nice all day, it isn't to weedy yet and it is all fun to put so much into the yard. I love to see the instant color added to my garden. I am nervous about when it gets to July because my sprinklers always cause me grief by then because I don't get quite enough water to my flowers and they usually wither and die. I hope this year I can keep my steam up long enough to take care of them.

I bought 2 more hydrangea bushes as my second attempt. A couple years ago I planted a bush and babied it. I planted it in special soil, fertilized it weekly, watered it twice a day, and loved it. It really got me through some stressful times and a difficult summer. The yard was my therapy. Anyway, I don't have the time to invest in them this year, and I don't care as much as I did that summer, but I will keep you updated on how they do.

Happy Gardening.

Sisters Next

So after a few days in St George with my lovely children, a friend drove them home and my sisters came next. We had a fabulous sisters retreat with Elizabeth from Texas, Joanne soon to be from North Dakota, Me and Leslie Ann from Seattle. We had a blast. We didn't do much but sleep in, shop, swim, shop, watch some movies and of course shop. Elizabeth loves to shop and she helped us all find something we couldn't live with out! I love you girls. We had a great time! We missed each and everyone of you for what ever reason you couldn't be there, Mom, Kathy, Janette, Sarah, Aubrey and Bridget. We'll try again next year!

Puppies in St George!

Last week I took my kids with me to St. George Sunday night... mothers day. It was so fun. The first thing we did when we got there was check out Cleo's new puppies. My children loved them! I was amazed at how much they fell in love. The puppies were all so cute. Taylor, Jordan and Kate all decided they wanted one! Ahhh! So here are a couple pictures from that day and a picture of Kate being a puppy. She loves to crawl around the house with shoes on her hands! Silly she is.

Woxy is my favorite Dog!

Taylor has the cutest voice. I wish I could record everything she says. I took her on a walk to feed the lambs "celery" I wish I could hear the way she says that forever. Every word that comes out makes me smile... well mostly.

The Kitties are here!

Jordan and Taylor and Kate are so happy to have Kittens! Actually, the whole neighborhood loves seeing them. Thursday, April 24 Bowser, our friendly stray, whom keeps the mice away, had 4 kittens. Unfortunately it was snowing and two didn't make it. Although, believe it or not Sunday while we were at church another was delievered. She is alive and the runt! Any chance the door is open Kate bolts toward it, cries if someone closes it, but if she gets out then she heads straight for the window well. I have to watch her very closely. Jordan and Taylor are sweet to the kitties and try to be respectful of Bowser. This cat has become much more friendly to them and lets them pet and hold her now, whereas she just ran away before. Anyone want a cat in about 5 weeks? They are so CUTE!
