Weekend Recap

I hope you had a relaxing and restful weekend.

I kind of puttered around not getting much done in between going to the boys' softball games and obsessing over my newest I.touch game, Hidden Mysteries of Buckingham Palace. (It's a hidden object and puzzle game, very addictive and essentially impossible to complete without looking up the solutions on the help forum. Cheater, guilty as charged.) I am not a total slacker, I did do some laundry so the Dh and kids would have clean underwear. I know, what a gal. I also helped my dog groomer with her husband who is recovering from surgery. See, not a slacker, just a putterer.

It was 91 degrees here yesterday, 91 DEGREES Farenheit!! It was 55 degrees just last week. Insane. Despite the hot weather, I made fudge. Why not? I had all the fixings and I wanted some fresh fudge. Yummers.

I have taken a new approach with my garden this year. I used to buy plants and flowers and then transplant them into the garden. This year because of my success with wildflower seeds last year and the return of the perennials (California poppies, lavender verbena, and alyssum), I am forgoing the grown plants and just using seeds in my flowerbeds. My seedlings are very happy and I look forward to showing you all the results of my lack of effort. I am going Way Overboard with the amount of seeds because I just want bunches and bunches of color. Plus I read in my new favorite gardening book, "1000 Gardening Secrets", that when you remove a weed to use that spot to plant a seed which in turn will keep the weeds under control. Brilliant, opportunism at its' best.
