It’s been increasingly crazy around my house lately. Why with children running in and out, Gus constantly into anything he can get in his mouth, trying to look for a job and doing my taxes, I can barely think! I’ve barely had time to work in the yard, clean house or buy the hundreds of dollars of groceries we are going through.
We made red velvet cake balls. It was a bad idea and I won’t be attempting that again, EVER! It was a complete and total MESS and I won’t be posting that recipe. I didn’t like them.
I did manage to work in the yard long enough to plant these Lavender Fern bushes on Saturday. Lavender Fern is an evergreen bush unless the temps get below 20 degrees. I’ll have to cover them if we get another freak winter like the last one. I couldn’t resist them though because they bloom almost year round, attract butterflies, they are wonderfully scented and they are beautiful blowing in the wind. It took me a half day to plant them but I had fun. I had to dig large holes in our wonderful clay soil. It was hard because I’m an out of shape middle aged Nana. OMG, that still freaks me out. Mentally, I still feel about 30 but my mirror is telling me otherwise. I loved being 30, it was a great age (that’s when I met Hillbilly and I was still thin).
Gus sunbathed with First Born while I worked in the yard.
We’re planning a trip to Kentucky to visit Hillbilly’s family in June. I’ll go unless I happen to land a job between now and then.
Life is busy and beautiful and stressful and I’m guessing this as good as it gets.
