My Garden in it's glory

Look Who's Been In My Garden

My pink flowers

These are the climbing roses that we removed three years ago!
Ok, you can stay

My very favorite rose, Heaven on Earth
with my fuzzy lamb's ears.
Oh, and that's Veronica sticking her spiky self in the picture.
She will soon be pink, too.

This is my first year for peonies, and I was able to enjoy them in all their glory
for about a second,
then came the rain and weighed them down,
but hey, a second is better than nothing at all!

Don't know which I like better,
the bud or the flower.

Remember the messy yard?
We have TONS of helicopters!

Looky, looky!
I've got thyme babies!

To do list revisited

OK, I'm only listing one thing for my to do list now- my messy, messy yard! That's actually wayyy more than five things. I'll give you a full report at the end of the weekend.

Advice for the day: BE NICE! Being petty and nasty just sucks energy out of people. It is like drinking the poison you meant to give someone else, and that's all I'm going to say about that.....

Today I am thankful for: Lunch with a good friend, the smell of Russian olives, beautiful flowers blooming, and summer. Yes, even though it's stinkin' hot today, I'm not using my AC, but I'm not sure if it's because I'm a tough chick or if it's because the Hubs hasn't put them in the window yet.....

It's on my to-do list!

Thinking about the fact that I will go into work on Fridays (and Sundays, of course) and work from home one other day, I realize that means I've got 4 (somewhat) open days. As this is the year of frugality- (is that a word?) I am going to do lots of things around the house. I don't know about you, but to do lists can overwhelm me, maybe I'll make a list of 5 to dos at a time. Yes, that's the ticket. OK, now I'm going to figure out those 5 things and record them here, so you can hold me accountable.
Ciao for now.......
