Pool Time is already here!

With the weather being as warm as it has been, and Joey and I staying home with Stella today- we figured it was as good a time as ever to introduce the best accessory of our summer- the pool! Stella donned her first bathing suit of the season and loved every minute of her baby pool time. Afterwards, we all lounged around outside for the next 2 hours! Stella loves being outside so much, I just cannot believe. But, she is a Taurus after all. It's so great to already get a taste of the joys of warm weather :o) Pictures to follow soon.....

On a nerdier note- garden updates are as follows:

I planted 2 pepper plants in my edible garden. I have some peppers I began as seedlings but they are so tiny still and I am quite impatient. All I need is my Dill plant and my edible garden is complete. And right now I have 25+ strawberries already forming- my mouth is already watering for Strawberry Shortcake!

My flower garden (backyard) is coming along fabulously and I only need a Russian Sage bush to round out the back portion. The front yard is completed and now I just have to wait for my climbing plants to get their grow on. And we finally laid new mulch out front- I am so glad we chose the pine nugget variety- the darkness of the bark looks great against the green of the plants.

I bought 2 new hummingbird feeders and more bird feeders for the backyard. I am beginning to get slightly obsessed with getting the birds in my neighborhood to congregate at my house. No birds have been in sight at all today in the back. The front yard still has more birds but that is probably due to a particular feline that has decided to post up under the bird bath out back....cats (sigh)

Joey and I rounded out the day sitting on the swing and relaxing- what we should have done all weekend yet somehow our Saturday and Sunday turned into mulching, planting, gardening and exhausting. Nonetheless- today was the greatest Monday I can remember having in a long time :) I am so blessed right now and am thankful every day for I have been given.

Happy Monday
