Soooo....it's sideways

but it's a video none the less. Makenna at a park here in town, going down the slide.




This weekend was a nice one. Brent got up early to head over and help Ryan and Heather move. Around 2pm he got home and after some lounging we headed to Dos for some mexican goodness. Sunday we went to church, grabbed some lunch and then went to Lowes for some home improvement (ehhh, and gardening) stuff. After too much money later we headed home to put some of the new merchandise to work. Ie-my new plants. New creeping phlox, peonies, and I staked one of my clematis. Last night we put together my compost bin (ie-free pallets from the newspaper, screwed together). I got a new rose a couple of weeks ago, it's a light purpley-silver color, it's sitting in a pot right now, while I ponder where I should put it. Speaking of roses, the HUGE one in the front is...HUGE...I finally pruned out most of the old wood b/c there just isn't enough room for it. Really...it's taking up TWO trellises and reaching for the third.

Mom is on her way over so we can work on the veggie garden boxes! Wooohooo! I need to take pictures. The blueberry bush is doing well, though I've not seen much from my raspberry bush, and the squirrels think it's fun to dig up my strawberry plants.

Yesterday we saw some people taking pictures of the house on the corner, I think they are about to list it. Annnnd, last week a group of U of I students toured the big house, the next day the for rent sign was taken down. So it seems we will have some new neighbors, our age, girls and guys. It's a little exciting. I know I'm a dork.

New photos are up!
