Wow! And the yard work continues...

The yard is really looking great. We are so excited to watch all the grass (front and back) start to turn green. We've waited a long time to have this and it is so exciting to watch. We are still getting the edgers, little by little. These days I'm wishing we had a truck, but then I'd be wishing we had the cash. LOL

I called four fencing companies to come out to give us estimates. I actually spoke with someone at two, so they are scheduled to come next week. Waiting for another to call back and the fourth, unbelievably, had no one answer or a machine. I am so hoping the fence can be done soon, because the grass is already beginning to grow back into the beds we created with the sod. I can't put down mulch because it will be in the way of installing the fence. I did get to buy one plant today I've been wanting for about ten years, but I didn't have a good location for it. A hydrangea. I am so happy about that one. I planted it between the two garage windows.

I have had another first in the last couple of weeks too. I was talking to my Mom a few weeks ago about how I have never had an African violet bloom before. They are my favorite indoor plants. I remember growing up my Mom had quite a few of them around the house. Me, well, I've had several over the years and I've managed to kill them all. Then a friend of mine told me you can't get their leaves wet and they like to be in smaller pots. Well, I didn't know that! A while back, I bought another one and a new pot. Two weeks ago I had my first blooms. It now has five and two more about to open.
