"May we never forget freedom isn't free." ~unknown
Another late start Monday. I took Friday off and watched our granddaughter on Friday and Saturday while her parents had a quick get-away. She will be two in July and is at that yummy age where she is talking a mile a minute (and I have no idea what she is saying 80% of the time…) and is so affectionate and just wants to play play play. Rick drove down to see us on Saturday and she had a marvelous time bossing him around. She does this adorable thing where she holds out her hand and says "Hand?" and then she'll drag you off to see something.
We are going to spend this beautiful Memorial Day working out in the garden. It has been so cold and gloomy for California and finally the weather has turned around and it will be quite warm and sunny today. We have a flower bed along side the driveway that we planted Indian Hawthorn and it just has never looked all that great. We have one Indian Hawthorn that has beautiful glossy green leaves and pretty pink flowers so we decided to plant a whole row of them hoping they would form a low hedge along the driveway and walkway. But the ones we got have bronzy leaves and after they flower the blossom turn rust colored and never drop off so the plant looks dead most of the time. We decided to cut our losses and take them out and replace them with jasmine. Jasmine looks good all year round and smells heavenly for most of the Summer.
Our driveway and walkway are pink. I would love to replace it but it is still perfectly serviceable and not in the budget. I'll post an after shot once we get the jasmine in.
Well I better get on with my day before it gets too hot to be out there.
