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!
