just a tad chilly this evening, I had a grand day at work, I allowed two grown women...(is 19 and 20 considered grown?) settle their differences by calm confrontation.  They both said what they had to say and when it started to get heated I told them that if one did not think improper thoughts OUT LOUD...then this would not happen...if one were to think of the Golden Rule, then there would be less hurt in the world...What an awesome moment...I amaze myself sometimes!

After work today I took one of my employees to where she boards her horse...and I ended up riding!  Haven't done that in years...my poor puppies like to beat me to death and my thighs hurt so bad I did not think I was going to make the ride home in my 5 speed! High and fly!  Get outta mommaD's way, she is trembling!  I am still a bit...ah...numb! 

My youngest turned 18 yesterday and it was quite a tough day for me, I cryed, had to chase my contact  lense across the parking lot! With the one good eye that still had a contact in it...and yes, blind fat ladies CAN run!!!  I caught it, and then dropped it again when I got inside...Man, I am really trying to grow up, ya know, be able to wear contacts and carry on a decent conversation... anyway...I may not plan anything tomorrow...I will need to recover from all this drama...trama...CALGON...TAKE ME AWAYYYYYYYYYY!!!!   Here's to wobbly thighs and peace tomorrow!  Dee

It's absolutely georgous outside today and Mr. Man is finally building the swing holder we ripped down better than a year ago.  I am almost excited!  We have agreed that I will plant grapes on both sides so that something productive is achieved...now how do we keep the bees away when we want to swing?  Hmmmmmmm...any suggestions?  One of the many things to ponder...

I started slips of hydrangea and white grapes, also butterfly bushes.  I have never been successful with this before and I have actully done some good this time around...it is almost scarry!  I was doing the happy dance all arond and Mr. Man is just shaking his head!(Fat girls and happy dances can be funny  AND dangerous!).

I sat on the ground to play with my two bulldogs and I laid in the sun with one and the other was jealous and he came over and I ended up laying on him.  Mr. Man got a picture because he said we were lazy and wanted to prove that he was working and we were not...well...he only works when he feels like it...we work when we don't want to!!  So we had a good day...I found my Sieberian Iris' coming up...they are just tiny  little things!  I was tickled to see them...My daughter begged me for them but I told her she would have to wait...then she wanted to know why she did not inherit my green thumb...I told her it takes time and if she really wants to grow nice things then she will take the time, if not she may never grow anything but pots of dirt...she just looked at me...I love her, she is very brainy...but common sense is NOT on her side!  Sometimes I want to mimic the V-8 commericial and bop her on the forehead and say,"you should have had a V-8"!  I have posted new pictures in my photo album and am excited for another day off!  I think of all my new garden friends when I garden, I believe I will have a Kratz garden this year with all the new goodies I got from Charlotte!  There goes more grass!!!!  HIP HIP HORAY!  Happy Easter Everyone!

Spent all of yesterday in the anti-grass mode!  I sure love getting rid of it!  I secretly laugh when people ask me what they can do to help their grass...(pull it up!).  I have had this idea that I wanted to do an American Flag flowerbed...and  have actually tilled up a piece of ground between my two cherry trees.  I am not sure what I want to use in it...red' white and blue of course, but the first year I do something is usually trial and error...and even if it is error I usually still like it!  And learning of course is half the fun! Yesterday was my frst day off since my last post, and I did alot.  I even found some dafadills that I had havested last fall...in a white garbage under the fall leaves and had forgotten about...they were actually beautiful!  So I am hoping that now that they are in the ground I will see a bloom or two...just for entertainment of course! 

On my job we have wonderful flower beds and I do play in them from time to time when the boss is not there...I am learning about herbs more, I did not realize that Rosemary blooms...it is absolutely georgous!  I ran home to see my herb was blooming too!  How did I not know that???  Teehe!  I even thinned out some of the yellow lilies that are so popular to business flower beds and had a few to throw in my gardens...Of course they do pay people to do this...but I am better at it!

I got some awesome peonies from a friend and am hoping that they do well...I dug them in the rain and planted them in the rain...who says you cannot work in the rain? :)

My flats of seeds I ahve planted are doing nothing.  I took them out in the rain and let them get good and soaked...as the daily misting did not seem to be doing anygood...I haven't started singing to them yet! 

I did change the oil in my car yesterday, and my son-in-law's truck and my daughters Rodeo...I ran out of cars to do...and still wanted to do more...weird ole woman!  More later, gotta get ready for work...must make that american dollar...gives me an idea for another flowerbed!
