There is so much going on both at work and at home that there are days I can barely keep my head above water.
In a nutshell, here is what has been keeping me busy....
My stepdaughter graduated high school last Friday. It was surreal to see her in her cap and gown. My husband shed a few tears, but he won't admit it. I think in my mind she will always be this awkward pre-teen. So to see her enter this next phase of her life was mind blowing to say the least.
We are having her graduation party at our house on June 15th. I've been working my tail off trying to get the backyard ready for such a shindig. Short of still not having grass, it is starting to come around.
One of my favorite projects has been taking our plastic outdoor furniture and spray painting it fun colors.
As I mentioned, we have no grass in our backyard. Well, I shouldn't say "no grass", but it is spotty. This was going to be the year we put money into this project, but due to the expenses with the dog, it is going to have to wait another year. This has been an issue since we bought the house. Last year we put down stone and it made a big difference. But, there was still a large area next to the house that was a disaster. We haven't put much effort into this area because our end goal is to build a deck.
Spur of the moment I decided to tackle this area and it's amazing what a little topsoil and some colored pots will do.

These pots are currently full of flowers and the difference is amazing. We are no longer looking at DIRT!
There is still SO MUCH more going on, but as I suspected, this post has to be cut short because I am needed by a million different people all at the same time....Ughhhh!
Is it Friday yet?
PS ~ I do not have time to proof read this...so I apologize for any spelling or grammatical errors!
