Uh Oh....

I played hooky today. The weather was entirely too nice to be stuck behind a desk doing paperwork. Its nice to not be responsible sometimes. I slept till 10(after calling in sick of course), dozed on and off for about an hour after that. Finally showered and went outside to catch up on gardening around noon. I LOVE lazy days. Sure there was laundry needing to be done, and about a million other projects inside the house but that crap will have to wait for a rainy day. Today, I played. Afterall, spring only comes once a year.

Speaking of rain, I'll bet we got 6 inches yesterday. Soooo gloomy. I felt like a cloud was overhead all day. It just puts such a damper on my moods(crappy weather that is). In fact, I should mention that to the NP.

So, Trucker and I dug and dug. He dug for moles, I got the roses in, followed by some pink hyacinths, canna bulbs, day lilies, my lilac bush and some hydrangeas. So funny, the entire time, trucker stayed in the same part of the yard, digging for moles. Hours later, we were both exhausted and covered in dirt. We came straight in the house and got cleaned up. After that I decided to bake my mom a cake for her bday that was today and then we took it by to her. This evening, DH and I went fishing and caught a ton of crappie. So yeah a busy but fun day.

The weather was wonderful for gardening today, nice breeze, not too hot or cold. I need to get to the nursery and see about getting some annuals to fill in my garden. It looks so bare. I'd like to see something pretty NOW other than dandolions. To date, so far this spring I've planted all of the listed above plus daffodils, naked ladies, blue hyacinths, tulips, mums, and 2 burning bushes. Seems I'm leaving something else out as well. I'm even surprised by how much I enjoy gardening. I can't wait till next spring/summer to see all my beauties(or at least most i hope) come up. Next thing is to get some annuals in and get the stone walk way completed. I've got the flat rocks laid out but need to get it dug out, and the sand down. Then I'll use some smaller river rock to fill in. I think it'll look wonderful when completed.

Unfortunately, its back to work tomorrow:(.... But tomorrow night is the big bday bash for my mom so at least I've got something to look forward to. Still....I'd rather have a repeat of today for the next oh say....million days.
