behind.

I’ve gotten behind on blogging over the last week or so!  I’ve actually been keeping myself fairly busy.  I have recently found great pleasure in working in the yard!  I never thought I would like working in my yard, but ever since this post where I got all excited about “leafy little plants” (they’re called CALADIUMS!) I had planted, I have been doing all sorts of stuff outside.  We’ve also gone to Texarkana two Fridays in a row to take care of car stuff, went to the Lum & Abner Festival, made a mad dash trip to Poteau (to get MY IPHONE!) worked some crazy hours.  Right now C is napping so I’ve got to wrap this up and go get ready for work this afternoon -- but after today I’ve got 4 days off, so I’ll have plenty of time to make up for what I’ve missed.  (And there’s some pretty good stuff to share, too!)

For now -- here’s a few pics of some of the things I’ve been doing around my yard.

Impatiens I saved from the half-off (almost dead) section at the Garden Center.
I’ll post their “befores” later.
   

My front sidewalk - we set up solar lights, put in a garden flag (love it!) and potted the the Impatiens.  The plant on the right of the steps is a half-off pink hydrangea from the Poteau Garden Center!


Hydrangea after I potted it.  Hopefully it will start looking much better now that it’s in some Miracle Grow soil!

Digging up stupid holly bushes.  Stupid, stupid, holly bushes. 

My new welcome door mat.  =)
