Well, it's raining, so I won't get to work outside much today. I got out early and planted lobelia, a blue columbine, and a wonderful mint- the best one I've ever smelled! It's called "Kentucky Colonel". I know it will spread all over, but that's fine with me. More to give away.
We are so blessed to have a bluebird nest in our yard. There were 5 eggs in the nest, then something got them all. Don't know just what it was. But now the pair have layed 5 more! I know it's silly to get so excited, but I LOVE nature. Always have.
I saw my son Steven off to the USAF on Monday afternoon. I cried like on his first day of kindergarten! On the one hand, happy that he is doing something good with himself, and on the other hand- sad to see him go. Always we mothers worry about our babies. It never stops, no matter how old they- and we- get.
I was in a nursery last week, and shopping for a wisteria IN BLOOM, I talked with some of the employees about a huge one we have in the yard that has never bloomed. Never! They told me, "Beat it with a broom". WHAT????? They told me that sometimes you have to stress these buggars out some to get them to bloom. My hubby has threatened to video me doing this. I will absolutely wait until he is not home! The reason- because then people would think I am crazier that I really am! Well, off to the treadmill.....
