Just a Few Projects

I guess it’s time to update my blog.  Haven’t done so because I haven’t done much of anything.  Just the same old stuff.  Grass is cut.  Flowers are weeded.  Have read a few books.  Watched a little television.  Yesterday we had about an inch and a half of rain.

I have taken some pictures of a few of the butterflies that are coming to my bushes.  I don’t know a lot about butterflies so I can’t name any of them.  Need to buy a book.  I tried looking them up on the internet and there are so many different types it was tough.  They are like birds – just a little different here and there.  That’s okay.  I think they are pretty and enjoy them.  I found out that they like my lantana bushes and pentas. 

Last Friday Renea and I went shopping.  I bought a couple of new plants.  I will post pictures after I get them repotted.  I need some new pots.  My petunias are about finished, but everything else is looking good.  I have a new flower on one of my hydrangeas.  It is pink.  The other hydrangea is finally starting to look pretty good.  It has a lot of new growth.  No flowers and still has a long way to go.  Yesterday I noticed a bud on azalea bush #3.  It was underneath near the bottom.  I will have to keep an eye on this bush to see if it gets any more blooms.  Azalea bush #1 is about finished blooming.  It was beautiful – loaded with flowers. 

 

Renea and I also stopped at Hobby Lobby and I bought a couple of wall hangings for my kitchen.  As soon as Kevin hangs them I will take pictures and post them.  I also bought a new bird house for my kitchen shelf.  It’s really cute and balances out the shelf a lot better than what I had up there before.  I’m hoping to get my kitchen and bedroom finished before this winter.  The bathroom is done, and there isn’t much I can do to the laundry area.  I have asked Kevin to build me a “cabinet” around the shelf above the washer and dryer to make it look a little neater.  He said he would do that.  I also have a few other projects in mind. 

I have bought a new picture frame with multiple places for pictures.  I am working on printing pictures of my ancestors to hang on my picture wall. 

 

I still talk to mom most every night, Brian at least once a week, and Jana at least once a week.  Tracy called me on Monday to see how I was doing and if I needed to talk.  I did.  I so much appreciated her thinking of me.  Of course, I see Kevin and Renea on a daily basis.  Before Stephanie left for college she would visit me every day bringing Lola and Roscoe over to visit me.  I know they like my treats and they know exactly where I keep them.  They are my buddies.

 

I guess I’ve been busier than I thought.  Not sure what all I will be doing today.  I need to catch up on some odds and ends, so I guess I better get started.  One of my projects will be my pictures.
