3 Days

Friday
Kids to the groomer,
Garage sailing for Me.
Bad luck garage sailing,
Good luck at the garden nursery.
One Hydrangea,
One Lilac.
Does this day get any better?
Time to pick up kids from groomer.
They look great and Maxi has her new summer cut!
Off to Lowe's with Vern.
1 Honeysuckle,
2 Hosta,
2 Heuchera,
2 large tomato cages for future projects
and about 50 perennial flower bulbs later..
This day just got even better!
We returned home with enough daylight for Vern's first mow of the summer.
I love the smell of fresh cut grass!

Saturday
Up early and back to the nursery.
This time for dirt.
1/2 yard of top soil,
1 Camellia and
1..flower....I'm drawing a blank here..
Let me get back to you on that...ha ha!
Returned home to shovel dirt and plant everything before it started to rain.
Soon after Trevor showed up to help
(and make a little extra money).
I put him to work!
Then the mail lady brought a package from my BFF!
New Scentsy bars,
a new mug,
a new scoop for making truffles
and an adorable dress for Maxine!
Once again,
it's an awesome day!
Vern built me the new flower bed I requested in the back yard,
it looks awesome!
He also took over the tomato cage transformation.
I will blog about this more later..
with details and pictures.
He did an amazing job!
He's the best :)
The rest of the night was filled with family time
and ice cream to soothe our achy muscles.

Sunday
A very different kind of day.
It was gray and rainy.
Back to work for the week.
I just didn't feel good.
And then the text came..
A dear friend of mine had lost her fight with brain cancer.
Our angel was sent back to Heaven,
too soon.
I will miss you Wanda.
My heart is full of sadness but my head is full of so many good memories.

I finished the client I was working on
and went home early.
I needed a hug from Vern and loves from my kids.
I needed my favorite pajamas and my electric blanket
as I mentally escaped with a milkshake and a movie.

Just 3 days?
So much can happen in 3 days.
I trust His plan,
I just wish I trusted the guarantee on the 50 bulbs I planted
:)
