Getting Ready for Summer Living.....and Guests!

Since time is moving along towards Mother's Day.....Amy and I were out getting some more plants and mulch.  I mulched the tomatoes, got the fencing all up, and planted a beautiful blue clematis in the corner of the fence. 

We also got some herbs for the deck, another pot to plant ~ it is going to be spectacular to sit out there.  I also am going to mulch the plants out there tomorrow and plant the herbs.  We also got a pretty "Blue Buzz" butterfly bush - no kidding - and I will plant it outside Mom's window. 

And, we started planning the Screened Porch.  We ordered new seat cushions and a rug.  I am going to get the wicker furniture tuned up, get the chaise lounge off the porch and into the garage and get plants for the porch and have it ready for the Mother's Day weekend. 

Amy, Mom and Lori.

Oh my aching knees!  But it is totally worth it because it will be a gorgeous living space!

The dogs are sacked out on my bed, and snoring.  What a life. 

Love,
Leslie

PS ~ this is the tower that we can see from our front yard.  Since we got here in February, there has been a white light that flashes about mid point and it has annoyed the fool out of Amy.  She hates blinking lights of any kind.  She has moaned and groaned about the light blinking in her window and talked about a sniper rifle to get rid of the light.  Then, about a week ago....no light.  It has disappeared. 

Maybe one of our neighbors took it out.

Then I got an e-mail from Nancy wondering if Amy had received her Amazon gift card.  I knew Amy had gotten it, so I went in to harrass Amy about not letting Nancy know.  Amy says "I sent her an e-mail!  Look, here it is.......Oh, dear.  I sent it to Amazon!  In my drug befuddled state I sent it to the wrong place."  I am sure Amazon appreciated the thank you.
