We bought quite a few plants today: a tomato, marigolds, pickling cucumber, dill, basil, green pepper and three irises. The only plants that have been planted today, so far, are the irises. If you know our yard, then you know where the hosta/hydrangea bed is located. We had a few hostas that were in a part of the bed that got too much sun for hostas. I moved them this morning, then planted the irises in that spot. The irises should love it there. The hydrangea is growing nicely and the hostas are too.
John and I started working on clearing the area around the fence. John actually worked on it yesterday. Today, we split up. John continued working on the side he started yesterday and I started working on the pool side. It looks pretty good. We still have about 100 feet left to clear, then we'll start felling more trees. We are mainly going to get rid of the pine trees. (I'm allergic to their pollen, so they need to go!).
We finally got the girls to agree on a color to stain the swing set. While John and I cleared land, they started staining.
The one plant in our yard that didn't need any work done was the phlox. Every year they spread out more and more. I just love them!
I also realized today that I mentioned, months ago, about starting to use our Disney cups for utensil holders. I can't remember if I ever put a picture on the blog, so I'm adding one now.
Jesse goes tomorrow morning to get her braces. She is more focused on her favorite things she won't be able to eat for awhile: Dots and Milky Way Midnight bars. We bought her two boxes of Dots last week. She's had quite a few Milky Way Midnights lately too. I'll try to remember to have her some waiting in the car when she gets her braces off.
