Hi all,
Well, it was a pretty busy weekend. Liz's mom came up to visit and the girls set out to plant every flower they could get their hands on. On Saturday, they were at a number of nurseries for about 6 hours. Unreal. I'm sure glad it was Liz's mom and not be there for that long - I'd never have lasted so long.
Anyway, they got some new flowers in the flowerpots we've got sitting on our front steps and they got some more in the big pots that we put on the deck in the back. We pulled out one of the junipers that we've been hating since we moved in - this one was right next to the side door of our house. In it's place, Liz picked up a climbing rose bush and a trellace. I'm sure that'll look alot nicer, but that juniper sure took up a large area - I think we're going to need something more than just that rosebush to fill the area. Regardless, it'll be a nice improvement.
Also, we found some holly to plant in the front yard. That's going to go into the bed behind our new retaining wall. We had one guy at one nursery say that it wouldn't survive the Winters around here and another guy from another nursery that said it would. We found some holly at Wal-Mart that has a one year warranty on it, so we're going to try to put it in and we'll see what happens. Now, we just have to get a bunch of dirt to fill in that bed.
We had softball practice again on Saturday. Liz wasn't there because she was out at the nurseries with her mom. I just don't know what to make of softball this year - it just doesn't seem like anyone is very interested in playing. It doesn't make for a whole lot of fun if no one wants to be there. :-( We'll see how it goes when we start our games this week.
We also went out to Mankato to visit Liz's little sister, Sarah, too. We were only there for a few hours - just long enough to grab some lunch and chat a bit. Nonetheless, it was nice to get out there for a while.
Anyway, I suppose that's about it for us right now. Liz's mom went home today right after lunch and I've been at work all day. I'll catch y'all later.
