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!
