It seems like days go by so fast. It is so hard to believe it is almost May. My birthday month. I milk it for all it is worth.My sweet husband is on it now. It only took 20 + years for him to get on board. I believe that there is no way to celebrate a birthday in one day. So, I like to spread it out for at least a week, or more. I have a feeling it gets old after awhile. So, a week is good.  It works for me.

We are still looking for plants for the front of our house. Maybe I should share a little about the soil where we live. I think it may or may not be toxic. I have only seen a hand full of homes up here where they don't have box wood. Most  front yards  either have round bushes or square bushes. That's it. Oh, and rose bushes. I am not a fan of any of those.  I am determined to travel to get the plants that I think would look pretty in our front yard. I am also determined to keep said plants alive in soil that I think may or may not be toxic.We had the (box) bushes removed. We kept one. I mean, it would look odd if we didn't. We would be the only house on the block who didn't have a square bush in our front yard. It has all been cleaned up and I cringe every time we pull into our driveway. It is so bare. Marty said, with a smile, "I either find something this weekend or he will pick something out." I have no doubt it will be round or square at some point. So I have my work cut out for me this weekend. Wish me luck!

I would like to invite you to read Britni's blog. You can read her story here and here If you haven't read my blog. Which I know not very many do. I am not to into it.

Well, I am going to get ready for my babies. They are coming over for a big Italian dinner. Compliments of my mom, because seriously, no one would even come over for dinner if they new I cooked it. I will, someday have the desire to cook. As of now I will continue to leave that to the chef in the family. Marty! He is an amazing cook. I have OCD, so I love to clean. That is my job. It works for us and no one gets sick from my cooking..Win-Win! :) 


 Enjoy the rest of your week
