Yard day

I started the day down at the garden. I finished mowing the "east 10 acres"....ha...not really that much but it sure seems like it when you are mowing. It's all cut and pretty for another week. I had planned on spending the afternoon, weeding the gardens but as always, I got side tracked. Chuck had gone down to "brick creek" and dug out a cart full of bricks for me to use on the new flower bed at the TT. After lunch, Chuck went to town to get bird seed, Home Depot to get stuff he needs to hook up the toilet( don't faint) and to Publix to pick up a couple of things that we forgot to get yesterday. I took my cart and went down to brick creek to bring back the bricks for the flower bed. That was a heavy haul. As I was pulling the cart of bricks, I was thinking of how I am " my mother's child". I have been doing a lot of things that my mom would have done and she would be proud of me. She's been gone for 16 years now and I still miss her. Any ways.....I used all the bricks and didn't have enough so I went back down to brick creek and climbed in. I dug around and found enough bricks to finish the flower bed. It almost filled the cart again so it was another heavy load. By the time I finished the bricks around the flower bed and raked up enough pine straw to fill it, Chuck came home. I found enough left over lattice work for Chuck to nail up under the deck, behind the flower bed. It's amazing how you can make something out of what ya have and not have to go spend big bucks on it all. I wouldn't want to even think how much all the bricks would have cost us, that I have used on all the flower beds. Thank goodness who owned the land before us, put all those bricks in " brick creek". :-) I spent the evening, down at the garden. We moved one of the hummingbird feeder down there. I weeded three rows of the main garden and put ant poison on the BIG ant hills. It was dinner time.....it's so easy to work from morning until night around here but it doesn't really seem like work. I guess cause it's fun to me.
