A just for me day....

Lately, I've had the urge to get out and do some more photography. It might be that Levi's photoshoot inspired me. So, since I took yesterday off anyway, I figured it would be a good time spend the day doing nothing but stuff that I wanted to do. One of the first things I did was join Kari and her two girls at the park (right after I made a headband to match my outfit, of course!) While we were there I snapped a few pics of Charlotte and Audrey.

Oh, and one of the owl they have there at the nature center....

After that, I went shopping (one of my true favs) and got some things for the house. Bought some beautiful pink hanging plants called Dragon wing begonias:

They're absolutely gorgeous and they have a glitter quality to them. Love love love these! Speaking of flowers I love, I also got some orange gerber daises. So pretty :)

These should add a little bit of color to the front porch. By the way, my garden is getting huge! Finally had to get some stands for my tomato plants because they were falling over. We did have our first casualty of the garden today. One of the marigold plants in a container died (or is dying). I suppose I have to get a few more when I go for a resupply at Barnes Farms.

Ok, enough blogging for today. Back out to finish trimming hedges, which I should probably not be responsible for since they look kind of jacked up. Later folks :)

Post-edit: Trimming has ceased due to an unfortunate encounter with nature (i.e. my wrist encountered a wasp) and the hedge trimmer's encounter with the drop cord (I cut right through that sucker.)

It's all coming together...

The list is dwindling down and yet there's still so much to do! Next on the agenda is clearing out the junk. Among the items that are getting sold: 2 paintings, foosball table, camera (getting a new one), Taylor guitar, hotdog cart, clothes, and a lot more! I'm not even sure why we keep some of this stuff around.

Whenever I sell these items, the money will just go to purchase more stuff to replace them. The front porch has been pretty bare ever since we moved in. I envision ferns, rocking chairs, and a cozy swing to make it like another room that we can go to in order to enjoy the beautiful (and sometimes non-existent) spring weather. Hopefully, I'll make this happen this year. Keep your fingers crossed. My penny pinching hubby will have to approve first. Thank goodness he's around because I would go in debt just to make my house look nice...lol. He keeps me in check.

Tonight is reserved for cleaning out the old office, working on art for the living room, and/or rearranging/cleaning the bedroom. After that.......time to RELAX!!!!

By the way, enjoy this little gem of a video I found about Glenn Beck. Absolutely worth watching...quite disturbing actually. Here it is.
