The Good Old Summertime

Ma has been havin' SOME FUN outside :-)

No, really. I LOVE to work in the yard, particularly if there are no looming deadlines.

Yesterday I went out to mow the lawn but then decided to weed around my roses, instead.

After getting several tiny thorns in my fingers--this always happens since there are just some jobs you can't do wearing heavy gloves--I switched to a project started before family camp and whaddya know....I finished it and was able to transplant all seven roses into their new home!

So glad I did that weeding for nothing, heh, heh.

Still haven't started mowing the lawn, but this morning I DID drive down the road and dig up a bunch of Scouring Rush to put in as a backdrop behind my new curvy rose bed.

Lovely clouds have rolled in to protect my precious new transplants. That alone is enough to make my day :-D

I'll try to get pictures up later, if our network doesn't go on the fritz, again.

In the meantime, there's something about noontime wherein children's thoughts turn to food, which totally messes up my landscaping plans, but I should have thought of that before I had ten kids, right?

Hah! That's where you're wrong. I was barely able to think at all during the childbearing years, so there.

After lunch's interruption I should have time to go out and commune with the mower...I'm sure it has missed me.
