Cute Umbrellas!

Yesterday Kyle and I did our weekly

run into Hays.

We stopped at Home Depot to buy

some drywall mud and tape.

And.... we "had" to go out to

the garden center.

Because..... plants.

We each got another little

Hyacinth plant.

Mine fell off the shelf and

all the dirt fell out and it was

VERY unhappy about it all.

And Kyle is always happy to

have more flowers...

Then we went to WalMart to get

our weekly groceries.

And Kyle bought a little mint plant

and a little rosemary.

They are each $3.

Then, when we got home, I found an

envelope in the mailbox from Mom.

And.... the little umbrellas were

PERFECT!!!

The little yellow unbrella matches my

little mini yellow daffodils

(that are on their last legs).

And the little blue and pink umbrella

goes perfectly with my new

pink hyacinth!

I'm really enjoying having flowers in the house!

Today I went out back and

"chaos" planted all the raised beds

with a bunch of flower seeds.

Some of them are ones I saved from

last year's garden.

(4-oclocks, nasturtiums, zinnias)

and a couple packs of assorted

flowers I picked up from the store.

I also planted 16 little snap dragons

across the front of the bed closest

to the house (with zinnias etc behind them)

and some watermelons in the bed

closest to the neighbor's garage

and some cantaloupes in the bed

closest to our garage.

But also lots of flowers in all the beds.

We'll see what ACTUALLY comes up.

But in the meantime, I'm looking

forward to having some flowers here.

It seems like they took FOREVER to 

have flowers, which is why I bought

the little snapdragons.

Anyhow.

Just finished teaching.

Rod just got home from Mutual.

We are reheating some fried chicken

and some sweet potato fries for dinner.

And probably watching a Hallmark movie.

And then.... bed.

He's NEARLY done with the plumbing!

Yea!!!

And, of course, Kyle is banging out

all the drywall.

He's a beast.
