Yesterday was the first day of start of my vacation. ;) I am happy I can hardly stand it. Well yesterday. I slept in... I know that you are all shocked. I got up and ran some errands. I came home unpacked my car. I was tired. I still am recooping from my brush with death. Nope I am not mellow dramatic at all. I got up today. I was going to go and get day lillies and I called the lady I was getting them from, they wouldn't be home until three.. it was 11. I went to boones and had lunch. I came home and cleaned my familyroom (aka bedroom) . I went and got the day lillies. They asked me how many I wanted. They are tubers I said I would like six to a dozen. when someone is giving you something you don't want to ask for to much. I was thinking of a single tuber and in a few years they would be absolutely fabulous, that is I can control the damn grass in the flower bed. Oh on friday I got japanese maple. I got one the year that Grandpa Cook died. I killed it. :( Well they had them for $20. I love the look of japanese maples. I decided to plant it right outside my front door. Wish me luck. There is a story that Carol tells about me and trees. I don't have a good history. Some of it my fault some not so much. :) Well back to day lillies. They gave five five gallon buckets full of day lillies I am like oh my.. what am I going to do with that many day lillies. I am going to plant them... if they survive the round up then you all can have some in a few years. I have a plan to do battle with the grass in my flowerbed.. Another wish me luck. There has to be a way to get rid of the grass where I don't want it and have some grass in patches my front yard where sammy sleeps. Go figure. Lorie called and gave me instructions from Dad. he came and mowed my lawn on thursday... woohoo! Thank you... I came home and adjusted my sprinkler days... then sprayed eight gallons of round up. yep eight gallons. seriously I have sprayed either 16 or 20 gallons of round up and 4 gallons of sterilant.. you would think that I wouldn't have anything growing.. I still do.. UGH.. I am working on it though.. one good thing is that along my west fence I have thissel and stickers and I have pretty much got it knocked out. My neighbors to the left have a damn mess. I hope to work some on that. I would really like to do some damage to the nasty weeds... I watered my pots and the plants that I haven't planted yet.
My plan Sunday:
I am going to go to church.
I am going to go help a friend move.

My plan monday:

Plant all the plants that I have left to plant..

I hope all is well..
