Saturday morning I went to an Amish farm near us to purchase flowers to plant. I buy them, tell hubby where to plant them, and he takes it from there. He has the green thumb in this family :) We have lots of shade here so buying annuals is a whole different task from where we lived previously.
The blue pots contain a coleus, a begonia, a tiny white frilly flower (haven't a clue what it is but it did good last year!) and a green plant that I hope grows over the side of the pot. As you can tell, I am not a gardener!
I bought a bunch of impatiens. The beds need some mulch. Hoping to see lots of color this summer! I love lots of color.
I also went to Lowe's to buy hanging baskets for the porch and a perennial for a bed at the back of the house.
It was a busy day.
Well, someone HAD to do this ;-) I offered and enjoyed every moment!
Sunday was a special day too. I was asked to sing at Pleasant View Rerirement Community for their worship service. That's where I used to work. It's been a few years since I've sung there. My friend Elsie knows the new pastor and she told her to contact me. It was so good to be there!
I visited with several residents after the service. One lady is 97 and almost blind now. We didn't chat long until she asked me if I remember what she asked me to do for her. I do remember! Years ago she asked me to sing at her funeral. And I said I would. All these years later and she remembers that.
I also visited with a lady who had been our neighbor from the time I was a little girl. We had the best time visiting! I told her I remember when she moved to PV. I told her that she said her room was missing only one thing. I was surprised and asked her what that would be. She said, it's missing my Harry. Her dear hubby had passed away and she misses him to this day.
I didn't get to visit everyone I would have liked to. Ellen had a baseball game and I needed to get home.
She gets a High Five from Lance.
So thrilled for her to have this activity!
Later, the kids gathered at our house.
Brinley wanted to do our hair :) she is all set up to get to work. Love it!
She works on Aunt Kimmy :)
The kids eat and watch a movie. Or watch Carson.
My family blesses me!
Monday was another work at home day....
Really, someone must do this! And I will NEVER tire of it!
Blessing to you, my friends!
