Oops, Saturday's gone!

Okay, okay...another Saturday got away from me. I actually thought it was going to be raining, so I came up with a plan b. If Clyde studied for his test, then we would go to a movie. He did it so we went! By the way, I highly recommend Journey to the Center of the Earth. It was a lot better than I thought it would be. Then we had to clean the lower building of our church. We went to Lowe's and bought some soil for the flower bed, but unfortunately...that's as far as we got! Darkness is coming in like a flood and there's not much we can do now. Oops, Saturday's gone!
Here's the before pictures...hopefully, soon I'll have some after pics. How embarrassing!

As you can tell by the clearing in the middle, I attempted to clean out the weeds, but....the hoe broke in two!

Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love ya, tomorrow...


Nothing exciting has happened today, but tomorrow, I may have a little something to blog. I plan on working on my flower bed. I am going to be embarrassed to take the before picture, eeekk! I am not very good with landscaping...in fact, I've been at this little house for almost 9 years and have nothing to account for it landscape wise. Take that back, I have some bushes, that really need to be moved. I had planted trees when they were saplings, but now are too big to move...oops! I have a lovely, huge, dead pine tree in the back too. There used to be a row of lovely, live, pine trees, but they took the row of houses back there and added onto the highway, taking down the beautiful pine trees with them. Anyway, it really needs to be chopped down. I don't know why one tree was left. I used to have rose and forsythia bushes, but they died! Had beautiful mums around the mailbox at one point and dogs peed on them, so they died! We will try our hand at hostas...they are pretty hardy right? In the flower bed that we'll be working on tomorrow used to be annual flowers such as calendulas, zinnia, sunflowers, and marigolds. I liked picking them and adding sunshine to the house. I still enjoy fresh flowers, but I don't get them much anymore. What's up with that? Well, I didn't think I had much to say...hopefully, I have something good to share tomorrow. Saturdays tend to get away from me! Till tomorrow...
