let the summer begin!

YIPPEE!  My summer has begun!  Well sort of.  Monday is the last day of school and it's only for 2 hours so it's bitter sweet.  Telling the kiddo's bye bye for the summer is always sad  I will see most of them next year or around town this summer.  But I am ready for a break.  My work schedule is only for 4 hours for a month so it's the best. I am so blessed with my job!

I have a lot I need to do around this house.  We want to paint the house so of course we will wait until it's 1000 degrees outside with a humidity of 150 % so we can enjoy the full of effect of the painting experience.

The picture above is my Hostas in my front yard.  The empty circle will have impatients in it when I get myself to the store to get some.  I put mulit colors in it and it always fills in very nicely.  My yard has filled in so nicely too.  My pride and joy!

More garden....

The bench is a gift from my sweet children.  Soon the lilies will bloom and add color.  I have 2 huge Maples that provide shade, so only shade loving plants thrive here.  But I love my space.

Mark is really had a ton of energy for household stuff too.  He's been trimming trees, one was trying to grow under our roof.. With the help of my son Tim who is still waiting to move in with his friend.  Seems the other roommate is missing and his stuff is in Tim's room.  But Tim's a big boy and he can figure it out....he starts work Monday.  He figured how long it will take him to get to work from his new place and everything...I guess that's what college will do for you.  Actually, I am very proud of Tim he's grown up a lot.

I am still fighting a head cold.  I got plenty of sleep lastnight, so the worst is over. 

Ok I need to get off this computer...finally caught up with my 500 emails...and visited alittle.  I'll be around more now that it's break time.  So happy about that.

OH OH a storm is coming and I better button up the house!  We need the rain.

HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEKEND!!!
