Spring is Springing at my House


Just a week or so ago this was my
Hosta.
 
 
Today, this is them.
And I actually dug some up and
moved them....
 
I got these from the woman that
use to watch my children.
I planted them at my other
house but when
I moved 21.5 yrs ago
I dug them up and brought them
with me...
I have had them about 24 yrs.

 
I have a creek that runs right next to my
driveway. I have tried for yrs to
get ivy to grow there but I guess it
never got enough water cause it
never took hold.
a couple of yrs ago I emptied a pot
that had some in there that looked
like it was dying. But look
at it now.


 
Growing all over one area.
Yay..
 
Lemon sage.
Smells like lemon pledge.
Never cooked with it but
that is what it is for.
 
I have had this plant about 24 to 25
yrs also. It has been moved
around the yard several times,
and it spreads.

 
Out of my iris' this is the
only one blooming.

 
This one is on the same plant.
Took this shot Tuesday evening.


This is the same flower, took it Wed., yesterday.



 
A wild violet.

 
This shot was taken a week ago,
my hydrangea's coming up from
the roots.
 
They are up a lot more now.
 
I had the bed around the tree for a while
but I decided to make another one on the other
side of the downspout.
Got the rocks out of the creek.
 
And I moved some Hosta to that spot also.  
 
The little Gnome down near the bottom
of the pic was gotten for a special reason.
I picked it up at Old Time Pottery a few
weeks ago. I got it cause my
son is coming in from California in
July and I wanted it to remind him of home...
LOL
He has a neighbor next to him in California that
has several Gnomes in the front yard.
Cory would come in late from work and he
would go over there and inch all the
Gnomes up a few inches....it
took several times of this before the
neighbor finally caught on and
moved them back. Last I heard my son
was inching them up to the house again!
 
Just a good laugh when he gets here..
 
Thanks for stopping in,
Pam

I love looking at your pictures of the flowers and such. :)

I'm in nashville, and it's amazing how much more green y'all have. Especially on the trees.

The Rest of Today

Image
After my trip to town today,  visit with the doc, stopping  and picking up breakfast I  headed home.  I had dropped Dakota off at mom's for the day. He was going  to spend the day  playing with Klohe and Cheyenne. While he was hanging at mom's Lily and I chilled all day.  So much to do but I can't seem to get it in gear. Later....I had an apt for a hair cut. But I left out early to stop  at the  Mystic Heart. I picked up some healing stones there.  Entering the store I read this sign... haha Then while in there I saw this sign. From there I headed to see  Kelley, my hair stylist. This is what I was shooting for. Course, it will look different on  me due to hair color and  texture of hair.  I am good with it. I got to Heads Up a bit early  so Kelley still had a young boy she was working on and his dad after him. I had to snap a pic of Kelley making sure that I got

Hot Water Heater Mishaps

Image
 As I stated the hot water heater sprung a leak, from the bottom.  My younger brother came to help  with the issue. Problem, the  value at the bottom where you screw in  the hose to drain the tank, was  all clogged up.  It sets so close to the bottom  that it is hard to slip a  bucket under to catch water if we were to get the clog undone. There was no moving it till water was drained off the tank. We opened the top value, and leaned it over to drain into buckets. I have a great big  plastic tub, like this one. We filled it by leaning the  hot water heater over. Finally got enough off to be able to slid onto the two wheeler  and move out of the garage. Once we had it there,  we lowered it to the ground and let it finish with the drain. Mark went to Lowes and got another one, installed it and  had me up and running. The damage had been done though. With the unit on the  other side of the BR, water came under the wall and flooded the BR,  and the carpet in the den.  Yes, the same two roo
