Flower Garden

I haven' t written on here in a long time! I know my avid readers are very disappointed. There has been a major change in my life since the last post. I am not working right now. That's right, I am a full-fledged housewife. This is probably not going to be a permanent change, but it is what was needed for my circumstances. Since I am not in front of a computer all day, I just simply forget to write on here! But I am not bored. And yesterday is a great example.

Mitch and I do not have green thumbs. I feel guilty about this. Because we live in Suburbia, America, I feel like we are supposed to want the best looking yard on the block. But that is simply not true. We do want our yard to look tidy, but we aren't out to win any awards. We have this flower bed in the front yard where the former owners used to plant flowers. It has been overgrown by weeds and grass since we moved in. We knew we needed to work in this area, but we just simply didn't know what to do and how to do it. So, we have been doing some online research and checked out some library books and decided we would get rid of the weeds and grass and plant two small bushes and cover the area with new mulch. Yesterday, we did just that! I was so proud of us. To the green thumbers, it is nothing to brag about. But it looks decent now and that is all we care about. Yay!
