Blogging WITH Photos....Getting Less Lazy!




OK....here are some pretty flowers in my yard. This has been the best Spring for the blooms, I think. Everything looks so gorgeous! I wish I had more flowering things in my yard....next year I shall!

Blogless

I've been at a loss for inspiration and information to put in the blog lately. Our lives are the same as usual; soccer 4 days a week, baseball 2 days a week, my crazy work schedule (hence sleeplessness follows), etc. My dad did come for a weekend visit.....finally! It was so nice to see him again. I forgot to take photos though. I meant to.

I've been working in my flower beds...weeding, pruning shrubs, etc. This year I decided to put down that weed blocking fabric stuff. It was actually pretty simple....and the weather was outstanding! PLUS, I did it all by myself......very peaceful! I think I'll put in some cone flowers and Shasta daisies....and probably some Gerbra (sp?) daisies....they are so pretty and colorful! I've not planted any of these before, but I think they would make a nice addition to the boxwoods that are thriving.

I guess our big news is our summer vacation trip to Cocoa Beach in mid-June. My sister-in-law owns a time share and won't be using their time this year. We are planning beach time, a trip to Kennedy Space Center, kayaking with the dolphins and manatees among the mangroves and perhaps a trip to Ripley's Believe It Or Not Museum in St. Augustine. I know the "shelling" won't be as spectacular as it is on Captiva Island, but hey....it's a beach! FUN!
