Sunday, sometimes yard work is fun!

     I spent all day Friday in the yard.  It has frosted really hard the last 3 mornings so the rock wall I the front was impossible to weed.  I spent my time in the back yard.  The strawberry plants and blueberries are weeded.  The garden is ready to plant.  I have my mini green house out with my seedlings underneath it.  The pond in up and running.  All the flower boxes are up and full of soil waiting for planting.  I still have some work to do around the wood pile and a little around the pond.  Also the back large berms need attention.  But things are looking good.

     Now I really have not touched the front, however I believe I will have the beds done before the end of the week.  As long as the weather holds.  The front is easier to care for then the back.   I have everything in perennials now.  We have decided to rock the very front this year.  I also need to buy mulch.

     My little sister and I started to make cushion covers for her back deck, but did not complete them.  I finished up the four cushions last night and am working on making her some place mats and mug rugs out of the scraps.  I want to get these in the mail on Monday so she can have them by Easter.

     Mom and I had such a nice time yesterday after the breakfast.  We took a nap, had a lot of laughs and then had a late lunch on the deck.  Then we just sat and talked for 3 hours.  We have not had any time together that has not been run, run, run for over a month.  It was so nice just to have a peaceful day and time to waste and chat.  I get that so seldom.

     Mom is feeling better I think and then she surprises me when I see how really weak she has become.  It worries me.  Sometimes she can barely make it around a grocery store.  She gets very frustrated with herself and it makes me sad.

  Well I need to get in the tub and wash off yesterdays dirt from the gardening.

Have a peaceful and restful Sabbath.
