Feeling Great

I'm still here. I've been spending a lot of time sipping ice cold diet coke and watching HGTV. Look out Brian - have I got some home improvement ideas!!! It's a shock he's even letting me watch it. It's like porn to me. And after a few hours of watching, I always end up with these hair brained ideas about how to "improve" our curb appeal, or color coordination, or something else.

Nonetheless. He pulled all the dead grasses from last years landscaping project and we actually returned them, roots and all, right back to Lowes. They gave us in store credit for every dead thing, so we got all new stuff (living) for exactly $0. Yay. I was really bummed that we had flushed about $200 worth of grasses down the toilet. You go Lowes!!!

So since the holes were already dug, replanting them only took Brian about 30 minutes or so. Not bad for 21, yes, 21 dead plants. Hopefully these ones won't bite the dust.

We also got a new fountain for the backyard since our old one in the ceramic pot (that I LOVED) cracked over the winter. Shame on us for not bringing it in, but the way it had to sit and the amount of silicone caulk in the bottom to keep it from leaking really would have made it an ordeal to bring in. Oh well.

And since we don't have any kids right now, still, here's one of Kirby. He's our only real source of entertainment lately.
