Random Things

Well, a while ago AJ asked for a before and after picture of my "under the pine tree" area. I never got a "before" pic, but here is an after photo or two. I planted all ANNUALS...so next year i get to do it again. (what was i thinking?) it'll be nice to get some plants in there that are colorful AND perennials so i don't have to dig in the dirt all summer long again. Though, for the record, i did like doing it. It was just a lot...a LOT of work. aaaanyway, here's what it looks like. i think it's pretty!

So that's what i did early summer. In the fall i plan to split some more hostas and rearrange them on the front of my house and then give a bunch to the neighbors and help her get some nice "curb appeal" going on their place. She just married my neighbor and he didn't have anything for plants in his yard, but she and I plan to spruce the place up. We have more hostas than is probably healthy...so i'll share where there is a need. :)

Babs is getting big. Most of you, if not all of you, saw her on the 4th. You know what i mean. She's pushing down teeth and trying her darnedest to walk, but to no avail...yet. She'll be 1 year old in 11 days. I can't believe it. it all went so fast! She's still the love of my life. (Please, like she ever wouldn't be?!) I am truly grateful that i am able to be home with her and spend my days teaching her and watching her grow. Being a mom is the coolest (and hardest)  job in the world. really. it is the most amazing job in a way that only other moms can understand. AmIRight?! here's a few pictures of my peanut...and a couple videos. enjoy!
