So...today...once I really get up and start moving...I am venturing outside to check out where Den placed all of the empty flower pots...Den wants tons more flowers this year...he forgets how much work they take...but I don't even remember last summer so I really think he wants to do this for me. And that will be fine. Right now we have windows open and that white lilac smell is filling the house with a light beautiful smell. We need to get a fern for the front porch and yellow and white and pink and purple flowers for everywhere else. This year there is some ground cover coming up through the mulch and we are keeping it...it came from my parents' house and it stubbornly pops up every year. It causes a huge Den and Patty discussion every year...Den normally hates it...but this year he is allowing it to stay...and it makes me so happy! I have to go to Oncology today to give blood and after that we have heard a rumor about a secret flower seller in our town who gets his flowers from nearby Amish farmers so we are going there to check it out. My lips are sealed about where this place is...too funny!
I can't wait until my Tuesdays and Wednesdays are free from these visits! You just have no idea!
Books!
This one is really fascinating...it's really about narcissism. It's set up so that the reader has no clue where these two sisters have been for three years. It's set up so that you have to think that the family is involved in some way. It's good...really good.
It's 12:18 and I still haven't moved or gotten dressed...I have one kitty trying to get the straw out of my water bottle and the other one holding me hostage...well...now both of them are holding me hostage...
Sigh!
Hugs!
Patty

I love the sound of your flowers...and their scent.
ReplyDeleteI just got Emma in the Night! The PR person invited me to add it...that only happens now and then for me, but the longer I am in NetGalley, the more this will occur...I think.
Enjoy your day!
Yes! I believe that, too! You will enjoy this book...it is seriously good!
DeleteHow lovely to smell lilacs through the windows. I hope your blood test goes smoothly and well.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much...I do, too!
DeleteWe're so busy we've kind of given up on all those flowers but I sure do love them. I'll be glad when you don't have those visits anymore either.
ReplyDeleteI truly can't wait for a different routine...it's sad...isn't it...
DeleteWith our new lawn being destroyed by gophers, rabbits and wild animals chasing them, I feel the need to add pots. I really wanted to cement the entire thing over with raised planters but it wasn't in the budget. We just have too much yard. I could easily put in a volleyball court and a pool and still have a back patio and side patio area and an area for grass.
ReplyDeleteOooh...a Pickleball court! Tons of pots and planters should help but you have to be able to water them!
DeleteI can see how those kitties could hold you hostage. :)
ReplyDeleteHope all went well with the doctor visit and the secret flowers. How fun to go on a top secret flower mission. Hope the flowers are all that you want them to be. :)

I look forward to you getting your life back...and you will. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteI helped my parents get their yard in order last weekend. We bought gorgeous flowers from the Amish - wouldn't go anywhere else for plants.
ReplyDeleteThat's how it is here, too!
