A few new plantings



Mmm, nothing majorly exciting, but I just felt like posting an entry. =)  Courtney and I got a few more things in the ground yesterday evening.  Down by the rock at the end of the driveway we planted 3 Dusty Millers and 4 of the Fuzzy things.. lol  I don't know what they are called.. it begins with a C.  Two red and two yellow. 

We also planted my other Pampas Grass.  I bought two and have had the first one in the ground for several weeks.. and I just never got around to planting the other.. mainly because I wasn't sure where I wanted it.  That is why my grape arbor is on hold as well.  I know where I would LIKE to put it, but I have other things in the way..  mainly a Lilac bush.. I am thinking of digging it up and moving it.  I would like the grape arbor to be between the house and the road.. just a little more privacy in the yard.  We'll see.

Well, that is about it.. I think Courtney and I are going to clean some in her room tonight.. I am in the mood to clean.. and it gives her an excuse to stay up a little later.  Hubby is at band rehearsal and won't be home for at least an hour yet.  I have laundry in the washer and dryer.  I try not to do it during the heat of the day when everyone has their AC cranked.

~About Me and My Blog~


This is where I come to reflect on my life and weigh how I am doing in regard to the goals I have for myself. Some such goals are to have a closer walk with my Lord and Savior, work on making my marriage stronger, keep a well run home and make healthier living choices for me and my family. We are usually quite busy in the summer time showing our horses and my daughter is a cheerleader, not to mention working outside around here and gardening. I like the idea of growing our own food and canning it, but I have never tried it. I would love to learn. Winter time will slow down some and we spend more time on inside activities such as crafts, stamping and scrapbooking. I also want to do some baking this year.. and maybe attempt some Strawberry Freezer Jam with my daughter.

I believe in the sun even when it's not shining,
I believe in love even when I'm alone and
I believe in God even when He is silent.
