Yesterday we worked on the garden. We laid landscaping fabric around the garden, and put down landscape timbers to frame and hold it down and then two yards of mulch. What a blessing it is to have a truck! $16 a yard if you haul it yourself.... Now to finish planting... And figure out how to put my potatoes in this year. Last year, they were so yummy.
My daughter helped me do the mulching... She was a big help and it went pretty quickly. I got cleaned up and ready for a meeting which never happened... So my husband got another load of mulch and said I could do my front flower beds with it... I didn't want to... I was tired. I told my daughter, under my breath, "I don't want to do it today" and she said, "Then let's not" but I said, "We have to". Not because he would get upset but because he is such a hard worker and if I wanted something done and he was tired he would do it! We make a good team because he pushes me and I make him relax a bit. I am so fortunate and blessed to have such a good man- and handsome and strong too! So we need another load to finish up the job... But it looks pretty good so far.
My son and husband cut a piece of granite for a desk top... That was quite a job... It looks nice but isn't quite done yet... Just needs some finish work.
And they cut the granite for the top of the buffet.
The deck is getting refinished... We are trying to find something that will last longer than a year or two... So we are going with a product called Restore. We will see how that goes.
The Sun Room is getting a new floor. We bought tile before Christmas and then waited.... My hubby thought maybe we should do Nature Stone but we couldn't get get anyone to call us back... Guess they don't need the business or something, so we will go ahead with the tile. The windows in there need washing. That is something I can get done this weekend. A big job but not too hard.
Last night I picked Spinach, Romaine and Buttercrunch lettuces from the garden... So good. My corn, beans, cabbage and butternut squash is coming up... No sign of carrots yet... They seem to take a long time to sprout. But everything looks like it is growing well. Strawberries are beginning to ripen... And it is nearly time to cover the blue berries with bird netting... I love having a garden with fresh and organic things to eat.
It would be nice to find some kind of fencing (that looks attractive) for around the garden. We had some orange safety stuff so my husband put that up to keep the bunny out. It does work- it just doesn't look pretty and makes it more difficult to weed and or harvest. .. So I need to figure something else out, but in the meantime, it will do.
Today we are going to finish the mulching and then make some chocolate covered pretzels for a Graduation Party. That should be fun- Making them and the party! Somethings on the to do list are more fun than others. Well, here we go~time to get started with my day.
