Beautiful day! Just right for being outside. I worked both stores and stopped to help Mike with something, then did title work for the other Mike. I am always happy when I can go straight home. Well, I had to stop at Hanna’s Town. I was going to drop the linens off but the bins were not where we left them so I have to wait for Lisa on Thursday to put them away. THEN I went home!

The Steele House – Hanna’s Town — the bins must have been carried to the attic!

I had a piece of meatloaf for lunch, then got busy with my outside chores. I started a load of laundry first, then cut the grass and weed-whacked. It didn’t take long, although the grass was higher than I like to let it grow. The weather has just been so rainy.

Front yard is looking good – the grass is cut and the big azalea is still in bloom.

Digging is not my strong suit, but I was able to dig a hole big enough to plant my butterfly bush and I think I did a good job. Nate offered to come over at some point and check it out.

Butterfly bush is planted.

Next I planted the flat of ground cover and spread it around the bare spots on the hill. I have a feeling the other plants will fill in and it won’t be an issue but this stuff is easy – just scrape over the ground and stick a square of thyme, etc, on the dirt! And it grows and spreads.

There are five little tufts of ground cover in this picture!

There was a perfect place right beside the driveway to plant the zinnias from Saturday, and then I planted the Lobelia from Kelly’s. Once I finished that I watered everything then took some pictures.

Planted a whole flat of these cute little guys all over the yard!
Tis one looks really happy there!
There’s two in front of the little Dutch girls!

The right side of the hill is filling in nicely – lots of purple — Iris and Catmint
Corner of the driveway – again, lots of purple!
White Dutch Iris waiting to bloom; don’t see the yellow ones budded yet.

Autmn stopped over and brought me a donut and a 3-D handmade mother’s day card. It’s very pretty. She and Noah and Cameron are spending the evening with his parents, who just moved to Navaho Drive – a few blocks from me. That will be so convenient for them!

My hand-made card from Autmn!

My blessings for today were Autmn’s card and working outside. Made me smile!

PEANUTS Thought for the Day:

May be a doodle of flower and text
…make my heart happy!

TOMORROW May 14th is:

Bond with Your Dog Day; Dance Like a Chicken Day; Do Dah Day; Chihuahua Appreciation Day; National Buttermilk Biscuit Day; National Decency Day; Online Romance Day; The Stars & Stripes Forever Day; National Underground American Day, Calendar Day.

Yesterday’s fake day was National Footpath Day. I think the Stars & Stripes Forever is fun to celebrate. I wouldn’t want to live underground. Buttermilk biscuits sound yummy. Have a fun day – dance like I chicken if you have one to dance with. God bless…
