We didn't go to the pool on Thursday because we needed a break. I had a lot of other things to do and we were there Tuesday, Wednesday, today and probably going on Saturday so that's more than enough pool water for me. Instead on Thursday Preston and I headed to Home Depot, what seems like our 2nd home lately, because we are always needing something from there. We bought potting soil, shrubs and a new faucet. My mission was to finally move some things around in the front flower beds. I planted a few things since we moved in and some things were already here. The things that were already here drove me nuts and I mean that every time I passed by the front door with windows I would look and wonder why..why. Call me crazy but I like unison, I like everything in its place even in the flower beds. I think the previous owners of the house liked her things sporadic. No rhyme or reason as to why things are planted here and there. Yesterday after putting Preston down for nap, I hooked the baby monitor to my britches (that's one of my favorite words, saying britches drives my husband crazy but I love the southern sound of it), and headed out to bring back the harmony that my flower beds were craving. I moved things around, put in new shrubs and grouped everything where I felt they belonged. Afterwards covered from head to toe in dirt I was finally able to view my flower garden with awe. Except that now I can only see that we need mulch. Im closing my eyes now and going back inside.
