Sprucing Up

I just spent four hours outside this morning

weeding and and I decided it was time for a break.

I probably won't be able to wiggle tomorrow

when I wake up, but that is another story! :)

These impatiens on my front porch look better now than

they have all summer long. It has just been too hot

for flowers to look really nice...until now. At least

that is the excuse at my place. lol

They were all looking so pathetic a few weeks ago so

I broke off the stems partway and gave them a

few shots of fertilizer and wa la...they decided

to repay me with a beautiful show.

Been doing some work outside on and off this weekend. Got some mowing in and hubby will finish that up tonight.

Hubby also hooked a chain on his truck and yanked out

a large boxwood bush and we replanted it. Now to see if it actually lives. I hope so. We had success doing this

with a forsythia bush several years ago. Time will tell.

Need to replant three new bushes where we took

three out. {yanked two last fall and the last one this

past weekend} So I have that area to get prepared yet.

We also took the original windows from the house

out in the shop, removed the old caulking {what was

left of it} and replace it with new caulking. We really

need to get replacement windows eventually, but that

is for another year.

I really feel like we have gotten something accomplished

this past weekend and today. Yay!

Hope you are having a wonderful day and that

you have cooler weather like us in Michigan today.

I am loving it...thank you God!!

Blessings~
