I bought flowers from Trader Joe's yesterday. I knew they'd be well stocked for Mother's Day. Tulips -- enough for 2 mason jars and I love them. Simple and pretty. A treat from me to me.
My veggie "garden" is chugging along. The cucumber plants are adding leaves. I don't see anything happening with the tomatoes yet. Herbs are filling in -- so much that I've used some basil and chives. That's exciting. Also, the replant of lettuce is coming up, but it might be stunted again since I haven't seen anymore growth. One day I'll figure it out -- thankfully, seeds are plentiful and cheap.
I watered my neighbor's porch plants yesterday while she's away. She loves to garden, but I have to say, her porch plants are a hot mess. I was hoping for some tips or ideas, but it was kind of a bust. All but a couple of the plants have seen better days. It surprised me a lot.
I got a text yesterday morning that contractors were on their way to replace a damaged window (still builder's warranty) and fix a cracked board on the deck. What?!?! I was able to leave a door unlocked to the unfinished area so I could still grocery shop (hubby was on a conference call). This has taken almost 2 years to get resolved and I got 30 minutes notice. Lordy. Siding had to be redone too so painters need to come for the final step. I'm glad it's almost finished. We've had a huge window leaning on our house for 3 months.
Today is full. I'll run Duke at the park this morning -- that boy needs some energy release. Then I need to cook the ham-n-cheese pinwheels for happy hour tonight. Maybe some cheese tray prep too. I have an afternoon physical appointment that's an hour away. I won't be home with much time to spare ahead of our friends coming over.
Once again, I need to remember this is fun stuff -- enjoy each step. I wish I felt more energy. Dang, hormones. They are kicking my butt (and my mood).
Have a happy day. Stay well :)
