I was enjoying my evening read of CheeseSlave and she shared the link to Raisin's story. It's a tale that is worth telling and sharing. I enjoyed CheeseSlaves list of things each of us can do to help the situation. Pick one and do it until it becomes a habit, then pick another!
In other news, we have been very busy in the backyard! We weeded a very weedy area and covered the ground in plastic. I also cleared around the pool and covered it. I need to buy a little more plastic to finish the job, but it's almost ready for the rock! Why not add a lovely little groundcover instead of rock, you ask? Here's why...
We bought a lovely trellis and a jasmine plant to train up it. They should be planted Sunday afternoon. When the rock is all down, I'll plant some daylilies and wallflower bushes. Anyone have any more ideas of good sun-hardy no-work plants?
I planted an herb garden in a strawberry pot. It's very cute, and I hope it grows well for us! I have nine heads of romaine lettuce growing and providing us with yummy leaves for our smoothies. I have also planted some bush beans that mature in 58 days. I hope they can bear before it gets too hot!
My Honey and I went on a date today (thanks for watching the Lambies, M!). We had a wonderful and fun time. I have the bruise to prove it!
I'm the blessed wife of My Honey of 12+ years, and Momma to eight wonderful Lambies aged 12 and under. We live in Central CA, and use Ambleside Online for our curriculum. I'd love to meet you , so browse a while and feel free to leave a comment!
