Yard Stuff

This was the weekend of yard stuff. We finally got around to cutting the grass and we also bought some really pretty flowers in hanging baskets to add a splash of color to place. We had a beautiful flowery yard last year and we hope it'll be that way this year, too. It's still a bit early to plant, though. Everybody says to wait until after Memorial Day to put anything in the ground. We still have just Dafne (none of her siblings have popped thru yet), but it looks like our hyacinth is ready to bloom any day now. I also repainted the hammock stand and touched up the Adirondack chairs. I think I got more paint on my hands then I did the chairs. Vic & I also got the garage cleaned out and finally took all those cans in for recycling. Remember blogs ago I mentioned that our bags of cans for recycling were taking over the garage? We've been tossing them in there since last Summer and just kept putting off taking them in. We had $160 worth of cans out there! More, actually, because we overlooked two bags! We're going to put it right into the vacation account. So, our weekend was spent mostly tidying up the yard & garage ~ nothing exciting, but we still had a good time doing it all together.
