Spring Infusion

I know I haven't written for awhile but that's because I've been lazy. Chilly winter nights, car trouble and really good TV have been keeping me in hibernation. Aside from the aforementioned car trouble, nothing really has happened. Oh but for the baby elephants...but that's a whole new tale to tell. Anyway, this past weekend marked with gorgeous weather, planted flowers and double date nights has infused me with energy!

Husband and I have so many projects planned for the spring that I can't seem to stop working and planning and shopping! I need to stay focused and just work on 2 things at a time though. I think the average person says one thing at a time but I'm quite anxious to get started so we'll see how this two thing at a time works. I'm going to tell you my plans so that hopefully I actually do them. Make spring wreath for the front door, put up pretty fence, plant a palm tree, buy patio furniture, scrapbook from the last trip, finish Grandma's birthday present and plant lots of flowers!

Here's our latest outdoor projects that I can check off the list:

We worked on the fruit trees: As mentioned earlier we basically have a small orchard in our backyard which husband has been maintaining daily. I'm quite the dead beat orchard owner. However, I decided to help out over the weekend and whoa, I didn't know what I got myself into! I was shovelling, watering, clipping, and eating fruit all weekend and boy was my arms tired.

Planted flowers in the front yard: I know that I should try to plant perennials that don't have loads of pollination but really, they just aren't as vibrant as annuals. I said, "What the heck" popped a Zyrtec, put on my gardening hat, sunblock, and pretty yellow gardening gloves and got to work on my gardening pad. On the other hand, Husband put on lawn mowing clothes and started digging in the dirt with his BARE HANDS! Men are so different than women aren't they? We had loads of fun, chatted with the neighbors and ended the day with beautifully planted flowers and a 18 pack of Guinness.

Here's some of our finished products :)
