Now that spring is finally sprunging here in Michigan, it's time to dig out those gardening seeds, magazines, ideas, clogs and start getting ready for summer. Move those plants that need to go to another part of the yard or just may need a little more TLC. This year is going to be majorly different since Bob no longer has a job and is my "little" house boy....errrr man... He is taking charge and is going to plant a garden and putz more in the yard than he's ever been able to. Prior to loosing his job and hearing, he worked road construction for 32 years, so his busiest time was during the summer. What's the hardest thing for me...not being in charge of the yard. I love to garden, plant, watch things grow, so this year, I've taken the back seat. I'll still do my herbs and flowers though...LOL

There is a woman at my work who has her "5 year plan", me I'm lucky to have a 24 hour plan. So, here's my May plan (so far); relax and realize that I'm truly blessed to have Bob pick up the "home" front stuff; so this will give me time to re-introduce myself to a hobby that fell by the wayside for a year or so....scrapbooking. Along w/ my flowers and herb plans; my hobby plans:

-Get to know my camera; I have a Canon 40D, which I've never read the owner's manual...it will be a great read in the hammock that I'm hoping to get for Mother's Day.
-May is "National Bike Month"; time to put the ole' keister on the seat and go for more rides since it's getting warmer and I'm attempting to loose some weight.
-Get my hummingbird feeders cleaned and put out.
-Plan my flower boxes and herb beds.
-Learn how to use Excel on my computer, way more than I know to be able to use it more at work and home.
-Practice making a wedding cake since we have been asked to make one in August.

I will check off the list as I complete it and maybe add more to it or take things off that just aren't working out. And pics to sum up all this madness:

"My dream flower box"

"Don't wait for my ship to come in, swim out and meet it".


Hope life is treating you kindly...Until again...
