It's Been Awhile

Oh the woes of being a single mom. So much has been going on these past few weeks, too much to discuss here... in one sitting, at any rate!
The worst part of this new single life is yardwork. UGH. I spent the whole weekend outside, wasting beautiful spring weather on yardwork. Did I mention I live on an acre?! My lawn mower wouldn't start... and the weeds are HORRIBLE... after pulling a billion weeds by HAND & dragging a ton of brush to the side of the road (hopefully the trash guys will pick it up...) I finally invested in a weed eater! Of course, I can't weed eat the entire yard, but I got a few key places... like the walkway to the house & around the edge of the gazebo and the hillside...
My neighbors took pity on me & promised to mow for me this week!! God Bless them...

During a break in the work, and looking around my vast barron wasteland...

I've decided to try planting flowers. A LOT of flowers. Wildflowers. I hear they take little care and don't mind sunny, dry areas!!
I've never been a green thumb & everytime I've tried to plant flowers, they never grow. I claim it's the clay soil... or the mole that has destroyed most of my yard... but I know it's ME!!
This time, I bought that Roll 'N Grow stuff... it's supposed to be idiot proof. We'll see... in about 8-10 weeks...
I also bought some containers & easy growing seeds (or so the packages say)... and some viney stuff... vines grow really well, right??!!
Hopefully by the end of summer I will have some pretty flowery pictures to share... wish me luck!
