big girl pants, freeze, fun, plants, school, zero

cool day and overcast for a good portion of it but mid-afternoon the sun came out… still a biting wind though…

picked up at work by my daughter and we gathered up the rest of the family and went to Fun Days at their school…

kind of chilly but the little boys had fun…

 
 then I came home, having remembered, after a text and phone call, that I was supposed to be home at six for a friend to pick something up, oopsie… luckily they went out for dinner so were able to stop by on their way home…

since then, I’ve been bringing in plants and covering up the ones left outside, because the temperature is supposed to go below zero tonight…

 
not much room at the back door…

 pots in the sink…

  and on the dining room table… 

absolute craziness that it is supposed to freeze on the second last day of May…

beautiful moon tonight…

  
looking forward to the pictures I took with the camera…

been a long day and I am going to bed right now…

fish…

big girl pants, fish, lonely, plants, pond, silly

this is too silly for words, but I am feeling lonely in the house now that the fish have moved out to the pond…

I’ve been feeding them first thing in the morning and last thing at night and usually talked to them at that time…

last night and this morning I headed to the tank before realizing they weren’t there…

I checked on them when I headed out to work… they were under the bridge and weren’t moving very much… it was obviously quite chilly in the pond… but the good news was that none of them were floating, lol…

on my way in from work I wandered by the pond and found them swimming around very happily…

maybe I’ll start chatting with the house plants…

basement work, big girl pants, gravel, plants, pond, Service Masters

eager to arrive home each day to see what has happened with the pond…

today I found a fellow out front moving the dirt, sand and rocks onto a trailer… went into the back yard and saw this…

pond, construction day 4...

pond, construction day 4…

wasn’t very happy because there was a lot of gravel around the outside of the pond where I thought there was going to be soil and plants…

spoke to the fellow and he contacted Doug the person in charge of my project…  Doug called and came right on over…

we talked about the gravel which I did not want and the fact that I couldn’t see any flat spots in the pond for plants… and we agreed to some changes which will look after my concerns…

it was great to meet him in person and no doubt we will meet again to check out mulch and other things…

then I met with Mike from Service Masters and signed off on the basement work… busy day…

planting…

went out later and planted the impatiens around the white tub pond…

bed filled with impatiens... mainly white with a hint of pink...

as I was closing up the garage I discovered a little wasp nest which we will have to get rid of… picture’s a bit fuzzy but a little something was flying around it and I didn’t want to take it again, lol…
