Chloe is feeling better today. She spent more time coughing yesterday than she did the day she was diagnosed. She did well at taekwondo, but spent most of the ride home coughing. I think sparring was a bit much for her, but she has settled down now.
John and I set up the raised garden bed last night. I didn't get a picture of it today (too many things happening today). We still need to get in all the screws and the dirt. lol We have plants to put in the bed when it is ready, then I'll fill the pots with annuals.
I have to admit I've neglected some plants in the yard, namely the butterfly bush. I didn't realize, until late last year, you should cut them back every year. I talked to my Dad last weekend. I told him the butterfly bush had already beginning to leaf, but I still had not cut it back yet. He and I decided I should go ahead and cut it back even though it may not grow out this year. Well. I went out there a couple of days ago. I think the bush knew what I was thinking. At the base of the plant, there were quite a few brand new leaves growing. Awesome! I cut everything I could with my loppers, which was almost all of it. There were two branches I had to leave about six inches because I needed the bigger cutters, but didn't feel like walking to the garage. I'll fix the rest over the weekend.
