Laundry

I am doing laundry today so I can pack to go see my honey!! Wahoo.... Just a few more days to go. It is so nice to look forward to travel. Just a few more  months of him being in MO.  Once he comes home I will be turning over the yard to him...HEE HEE. I wonder how long before we get a riding mower. (or as my lil sis likes to call them Lawn tractors.) I figure in the middle of summer with the heat somewhere around 100+ degrees it won't take to long to get a lawn tractor. LOL.  Hope everyone is having a wonderful day!!! I know I am....

Birds

I now know why the bird seed is being depleted as quickly as it is. I just looked out the window and there is approximately 40 cow birds. There is a handful of morning doves too. This morning before I went to town I had a bird feeder that was halfway full. It now has a few seeds left in it.  Good thing I haven't watched the Alfred Hitchcock movie THE BIRD.  EEEKKKK!  Tomorrow I will head to get some more seed. I want to keep the birds happy......LOL

Mower 1 bunny 0

It is that time of year when you mow and don't realize what you are mowing until it is too late. I guess last week when it was the first mow of the season I mowed a bunny. AAARRRGGGHHH! I cried today when I realized what I saw was that of a dead bunny. (and no I'm not pregnant) It might explain the attack bunny from yesterday.  I had a bunny chase me and then run off. I thought I might have been in a remake of Monty Python and the Holy Grail.  (with the killer rabbit)  ATTACK!!!

Weather?

What's up with the crazy weather?  Yesterday I spent the morning mowing in a tank top and shorts. Today I spent the day mowing the back yard in a long sleeve shirt and pants. I even had to turn the heat back on in the house. I thought I was done with that for the season. Good to know it still works.  I also found out that my fire alarm is still currently working.  When the heat kicked on so did it.... LOL It just beeped a few times. It reminded me  of the Friends episode with Feebe and the fire alarm. If you haven't seen it I would give it a two thumbs up.  I think everyone has wanted to smash the smoke detector at one time or another. So for my final farewell of the evening I am going to say......BEEP BEEP BEEP...LOL

Mowing...

It's official. I am now a mowing fool.  I took care of the front lawn today. My neighbor was kind enough to edge while I was walking back and forth, back and forth.  After mowing went to town to do some shopping. Just trying to stimulate the economy. Took myself out to dinner and now I am going to call it a day. Just going to veg on the couch and watch some tv.  Do I know how to have fun or what!!!

Baking!!!

I have the opportunity to go to game night. I offered to bring coleslaw and everyone in my family knows the tale.  Needless to say it say it was turned down.  I then offered to bring dessert. So I will be baking a chocolate cherry cake. It is simple and it tastes like you spent a ton of time on it.  I had to call mom to get the specifics on how to make it. It has been probably been 10 years since the last time I baked it.  It got rave reviews at that time so I hope it is the same this time. All you have to do is add a can of cherry pie filling and take out the oil from the recipie. Bake the cake as it is on the box. Let it cool and use already made icing in the can!!! If you put it in a throw away pan you don't even have to ask for your dish back!!! How's that for easy bake cake?!!! 

At home for the weekend

I was supposed to go  see my honey this weekend but that didn't work out. There is always tomorrow as my folks would say.  I wasn't able to get on the flight so I am going to try for another weekend.  It gives me something to look forward to.  I will just count the days till I get to see him. Maybe I will start some of the projects that I have been putting off. Like making the wall hanging for the master bedroom.

Gardening

I have been out in the yard again. I have planted some of the bushes and trees that mom and dad brought.  I still have plenty to go.  Three crepmyrtle and two red bud and four forsythia....I decided to finish those next week. The dirt around here is much like the concrete that my house is built upon. As mom would say at least you have dirt.(She has mostly rocks) So I will be thankful for the hard dirt. Who knew that my muscles had muscles. I found that out today.  My tip to others is hire someone else to do the planting... Happy gardening!!!

broke down and started a blog

I have done it now. I finally decided to take some time to put down some thoughts. I am trying to decide if it was the right thing to do. I already spend loads of time on the computer.  I will post all about my adventures in life and trying to find my way.
