A Blessed Couple of Days! Look What Came!!

The past couple of days we have been home relaxing well after much time spent mowing and weeding a flower garden then peeling my clothes off from the heat wave we are finally getting, yeah. But it's very humid and sticking. The girls and I decided to play with water color paints and we had a blast. Here I am playing with color. I will post a pic when it's all done.

Here is Olivia helping me plant some flowers, she took a class at her school and she won award for it. Bare foot and everything, thanks Olivia for all your help. She is even wearing green, she matching the outdoors, not planned. she is a cutie. There was a very small flower garden here when we moved in this has taken alot of weeding and figuring out what is in there which wasn't much, love the plants behind Olivia's head, beautiful.

Even the kitties want to come out to play!!

Flower Garden

This is what I am up to this morning, my sister-in-law Caren came over with this beauty, she has tons on your property. We dug a hole and planted it this morning, between two huge trees. I have decided to make a flower garden there it's going to be cute, there are three old tree stumps and Lee and I are going to work them into the garden. Yesterday we went to the plant store and I got 20 flowers they had a deal 1.00 each. They won't bloom this year but next summer beauty will appear.

Lee has been busy finishing up the living room walls, next is painting the kitchen. So much to do when you buy a home, we've been here for a year. And our summer is just now coming, we've had so much rain. Our trees here in the east coast some are already changing color not good. So no vegie garden this year that's ok we are fixing and garden for next spring.

After digging up the lawn for the garden today, I need to finish mowing the lawn. I am excited for the sunshine today and for most of the week will be nice. Praise God. Our girls went to the lake for the first time this summer.

Lazy Days of summer

not much here for news, things have been kind of quiet since the 4th, we have had so much rain, I am thinking of building my own ark in the back yard incase it doesn't stop. We have had two sunny days, which I about killed myself mowing the yards, with a push mower. so I thought I would share some everyday pics with you of our life around bittersweet street.
