I ended up making $40 and bringing home a few items I thought for ( Read more... )

Productive day again today. Got Mark off to work this morning. Steam cleaned the carpet in the family room. Between my husband and the dogs, it gets a little dirty. It looks so much better now. I then managed to get a good 3 hours of work in. Funny how one week can throw you so far off.

When Mark came home we made the decision that it was time to ( Read more... )

Planting is done!

This year's plants: jalapeños, parsley, sweet pepper, cherry tomatoes, chives, basil,cilantro and strawberries (they will be hanging in two weeks.
