Monday, girls night, yard, money

    Here we are all out on Lil sis's back porch soaking our feet in preparation for our semi annual girls night.  After we soaked we pumiced and then dipped our feet and hands in wax, we used facial masks and made fun of each other.  Lil sis also dyed my hair (hadn't been done since Christmas) and she cut a good 6 inches off it.  I was a very shaggy dog. It is a little past my shoulders now and looks much better.












Here is Lil sis with her face mask on and of course there were martinis.  I don't drink but everyone else was indulging.   What a goober.
Last week when Hubs went to get the littles he brought them back in a wagon with this basket of flowers.  Red geraniums are my all time favorite and when I went to move the basket to the outside table I found these little figurines in the bottom. I had not seen them before.  They are too little frogs that say the kids names.  Too cute and they are a couple of little toads.  You can see the small pool that I got free with rite aid points so they can play in the water.  Of course no outdoor picture is complete without a sneak peak at Roscoe's head.





The pond is finally clean and I will go and get some plants and feed fish this week.  I also need to add about 6 more inches of water but wanted get the settling done. I love to hear the pond when I go outside.  It is such a peaceful sound.  Well it is if your bladder is empty. :)  See Roscos head?










There is still touch up to do, but this is the first year in three years the burns have been barked and weeded.  Hooray!








This is my next project to find plants for this area where we put rock to help with a drainage problem.  Look at the ivy damage. See my cute little toes?



















Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are in the negative.

  1. I love it all, especially your stepping stones. I may make some hypertufa stepping stones for my yard. No, I do not see a pool! Your yard is expansive and quite charming.

    1. I was born in Minnesota and have relatives (lots of them)near Bemidji. If I ever get out that way someday and I will I am looking you up. We could have fun together, as we have so many interests in common.

    1. I have terrible arthritis in my feet and my toes are very witchy. So grass stains I could live with.

  7. I love the face mask, and the wagon/frogs. Can't look at the feet, though. I have an extreme dislike for feet! Your yard looks good, too.
