Well, I did absolutely nothing outside today. The extend of our outdoor activity was our walk to the Mother-In-Laws, out to feed the horses for her and then back inside. It rained and was cloudy on and off all day making for a not-so warm day.  We stayed inside and I put our newer DVDs and VHS that we've bought in the last year into my database of movies. We have 412 DVDs and VHS!! That is nuts!

Anyway, back to gardening stuff. My Zucchini, Cucumbers, Thunbergia Vine, Malva Zebrina, Morning Glories, and Broccoli have all been outside overnight and no problem. I will hopefully get them into the ground by next week after I put them out in the garden overnight for a few nights (they're on my covered porch so they are protected somewhat).

I took a peak into my stump planters while we went for our little walk to see if any of my seeds are coming in and I am thrilled to say - YES! I am pretty happy since I had doubted that they were going to come up this soon. The weather hasn't been the greatest, but it has kept the soil damp therefore keeping the seeds moist (probably better than I would have done by just watering them since my schedule is so crazy depending on my daughter). As things grow in some more I will take some pictures. I just hope that the Alyssum does all right in this cooler weather since I think that is what is coming in the most. None of the "big" seeds are coming in yet, but I think they take longer to germinate. I can't wait for them to come in though! The excitement of seeds, waiting for them to come up and seeing what seeds actually germinate well. Oh-the excitement!!

Tomorrow I am going grocery shopping so I will see if I pick up any little gardening extras. I need to find trellis materials, metal trellises, natural/jute twine, more Nasturtium, Zucchini, Thunbergia Vine, and Sweet Pea Seeds, an extra hose sprayer (just in case the new one I bought breaks, I really like this one and I want a replacement for later) and any other garden goodies I can incorporate into my garden.

Anyway, I should get to bed, it's so late and I need to get up early. I hope everyone is having the weather they desire!

Have a wonderful day!

P.S.  Hannah finally got to the top of the waiting list for the eye surgery she needs to correct her "lazy" eye (man, I hate that term).  She has been waiting since August 2008 and now I am stressing out.  My protective mother instincts are kicking into overdrive.  I was almost in tears this morning from the overwhelming feeling that the surgery is now booked and is officially going to happen.  I am so scared.  I really wish my Hubby was home on days like these.  He'll be home in time for the surgery, but probably not for the pre-surgery appointments etc.  So, I will be on my own until he comes home.  Talking on the phone just doesn't  seem the same as if he were here home with me talking about my fears and concerns.  I will keep you all updated, her eye related appointments start at the beginning of June, so if I am MIA that is why.
