It’s been a crazy couple days but finally I can post with some pictures from this weekend.  Friday night Ryan sanded and caulked the exterior window panels around the diningroom windows that have been half finished since last fall.  Once the caulk was dry I primed them so they are more protected.  At some point we need to actually finish them still …

Window panels primed.

Saturday we went down to my sister’s house to visit with family for the weekend.  I got to see my little nephew again – he’s still in the NICU but he’s growing steadily!  Sunday we had a BBQ with all the family coming down and it was very relaxing.  We had a great time.

Monday we spent the day around the house, ryan’s back was bothering him so he relaxed but I worked in the gardens.  I finally got them cleaned up, planted my veggies I started from seed 6 weeks ago and planted a few new plants I got before mulching.  Every year the plants look more robust, the ones my mom gave me 2 years ago are really full now.

Annual under the front tree (impatiens and coleus)

Mint (from mom) and baloon flower along the driveway, hoping the mint will spread to fill this area in the future.

Veg garden from last year still has the original oregano, I planted sweet basil (on the right) and the rest is carrots this year.

The rest of the veggies got planted in front of the roses this year, squash, cucumber, beans and pees.

The lilies were getting overwhelmed by the raspberries so I moved them over to the side and the blueberry pushes were planted in front of them.

Perrenial garden is really doign great, new additions include daisies on the right and some smaller colored daisy like plant to the left of them.

The mountain bluet, chives and dark geranium are all flowering beautifully! (All from mom 2 years ago)

We’re home this coming weekend, hoping to work on the house, unfortunately Ryan’s back is still bothering him so he’s got to take it easy.  I hope to get some stuff done myself though even if he’s not up for it.  I’m feeling overwhelmed by the passing spring, need to get more of the summer projects started already 🙂
