Busy Sunday


Woke up early this morning and headed off the the flea market with my son Christopher. I love spending time with him. Had fun snooping at all the treasures. I bought Hosta plants for my garden. They sure will look pretty.

After lunch went to the garden center and bought two Shasta Daisy plants, a new American flag and some stepping stones to make a new walkway in the garden.

Hubby worked so hard putting the walkway in and planting my flowers. It sure is going to look pretty as things grow and flowers start blooming. Seeing the old wheelbarrow brought back a bitter sweet memory of my Dad giving me a ride in the wheelbarrow when I was a child. He was so handsome, big and strong. I loved him so~

A very enjoyable but busy day. A bit to hot and humid for me, to early yet ffor all the heat and humidity. I wilt like a flower~

Went for a long bike ride with my hubby today, along the river and the canal. First time riding in that area. I couldn't believe how many turtles we saw sunning themselves on dread tree branches. We were riding all afternoon. Round trip 14.9 miles, the farthest we have ridden yet. What a fun thing to do on the holiday weekend. Seems like biking is the new hobby, so many people riding, single people, couples and families. A lot of dog walkers along the way too. Biking is so much fun, you get good exercise and it's fun to do~

Morning Glories~

Up early this morning, thanks to my cats! I guess it's a good thing though, so I can get more stuff done before it gets too hot. Transplanted my Heavenly Blue Morning Glory seedlings by the front porch, light post and back yard trellis. Have  few more that need homes. Going to start another batch of Morning Glory seeds, this time a deep purple color.  They will look pretty along the fence. I'm going to take photographs to see how fast they grow!I'm hoping to get to the garden center this weekend and buy more plants and hopefully the flea market on Sunday for even more and some good bargains. This year I'm going to make time to plant all the flowers my heart wants.

Spring Morning~

A beautiful spring morning. Spent some time in the garden this morning tending to my newly planted flowers. Divided and moved perennial plants all over the garden last weekend to have more blooms this summer. Some of my favorite ones are pink cone flowers, the butterflies love them. I bought a few different colors late last summer and I can't wait to see them bloom this year. It's going to be hot and humid today so I wanted to enjoy the garden early~
