Plant a seed and watch it grow

Well Spring is officially here. Which is fine...but it is suppose to be summer. Believe me, I'm not complaining. Once the heat gets here...my life gets sucked into a black hole. (Now if you were Taryn, you would think that was pretty exciting!)

My quest to make my neighbors jealous has begun! I have been loving my yard lately. I have purchased a bunch of flowers for my backyard which is going to be gorgeous in a couple of years, when the plants are older! I bought delphinum, coreopsis, and may night salvia. I wish they were already huge! Anyway, I now need to buy some annuals for my flower boxes for the front of my house. I also really want some purple asters, a clematis and a trellis, a bench, and an arbour with a gate, but that will just have to wait.

Happy Camper

Well...it's officially over. My life that is. The waterpark season has begun, and so have my 10 hour days. I was looking at my schedule for the summer and i added up how many hours I HAVE to work a week...59 hours...can we say CRAZY!

I like my job (most days), I just really miss getting to have fun during the summer. I miss going swimming, hanging out, road trips, and most of all CAMPING. So I have been thinking of getting a camper so I can go when it is cooler. I know it seems like a lofty idea, but just work with me ok. How saaaaweet would it be? We could just take the camper and not have to worry about bears attacking, or having to take the truck to the nearest campground so we could use the bathroom (that's what happens when dad takes all of his girls camping and we refuse to dig a hole), and we could sleep inside when it was cold or rainy and the munchkin Harper would be toasty warm!

So I am going to start a Happy Camper fund. If you would like to start making contributions to the fund that would be great.

P.S. If we don't get a camper, we could get a cabin...who wants to contribute to that fund? eh....ehh...anybody?

Mom used to make the most beautiful Easter eggs. Then she'd hide them in the back yard. But they were so beautiful, when we found one, we weren't allowed to pick it up. We had to point at it, and then mom would come pick it up with her white gloves and put it back in its case. Somebody ended up smashing all those eggs with a hammer. I think it was our dog. - Jack Handy
