And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength. And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands that I am giving you today. Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up. Tie them to your hands and wear them on your forehead as reminders. Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
Deuteronomy 6:5-9

It's Off To Work We Go..

Getting started on the "little projects", like yard work. We thought it was going to rain most of the day Saturday, but it didn't start until mid afternoon. So we decided to take advantage of the "no rain" after breakfast and mulch our bed in front. I trimmed up the bushes while John ran to get the mulch. Livy loved to help!

All done. Bushes were way out of control. Two of my azalea plants are in bloom the other two will bloom soon.

Today Livy and I planted flowers in my pots. Liv loved shoveling the dirt. She was covered in dirt, but she had fun. Bath time for a certain little girl tonight!


Not done yet. I need a couple more pots.


Livy watered.

Done for today. Pretty.

I also planted some herbs again this year too (cilantro and rosemary). It seems like I make salsa once a week these days. WE LOVE HOMEMADE SALSA! I would love to can some. I need to find a pressure cooker...

These are tomato, squash, and green peppers. We bought some green bean seeds and another veggie seed that I can't think of right now (figures, I'm forgetting things like crazy!! Expectant mother brain freeze..). John is going to build a garden box this week so we can get our garden out. He is also in the process of building a work bench for the garage too. Hopefully this week we can get something nailed down on our home office addition so that can begin soon.

Ah, projects. It helps to keep me going so I don't sit around feeling tired all the time. Really, we are excited about the projects. I have actually enjoyed working out in my yard!

Your flowers and landscaping look great. Where did you find the vegatable plants? We are planting today and tomorrow.
