A wee bit of a busy day...

Had a wee bit of a busy day today...

Started by vacuuming and mopping the entire house/redding up as I call it.

(readying up=straightening up)

--------------

Then after that I played in the dirt for half the day...planting seeds into 102 peat pots..yep..102!

---------------

I put the peat pots onto cookie sheets and then marked each pot with a pen telling the contents.

-----------

Oh my! I have planted seeds for 4-5 varieties of tomatoes, some heirloom edible poppy flowers(they produce the edible seeds used in cooking)

I planted some dwarf pomegranate seeds, some huckleberry, lots of flower seeds such as verbena, godetia, love in a mist, tithonia(Mexican sunflower),a flower called tidy tips that looks like a daisy but has bright yellow tips..and lots,and lots of other fun things. Ooooh! I can't wait until things start sprouting.

-----------------

Then hopefully on Monday I'll be able to order some blueberry trees and some raspberries that if I'm able to get a good sized plant/tree/canes, should produce this year for me.

-----------------

My husband built a few more little fencings to go around the strawberry bed and spinach,mesclun,lettuce beds to keep the ducks,chickens from getting in the raised beds and devouring everything.

-----------------

After all the planting today..I redid 2 of my floral arrangements..totally redid them..took out all of the older flowers and then created new bright and cheery arrangements using gerbera daisy flowers(fake) in bright red, yellow, and white.

I love the contrast those colors create.

--------------

After all of that..I realized...OOPS!...I forgot to get that picture of "Collin" I had been wanting to get today..of him with his blue bandanna on :0(

I'm really sorry. I will definitely get a photo on here this weekend though.

---------------

I tell you what..for those of you considering adding a mini schnauzer to your family..I whole heartily endorse it..they are the sweetest dogs. I have never had a puppy so well behaved. Of course he does have a few wee moments when he gets a bit rambunctious and feisty acting, but nothing that a good "no" command doesn't usually fix.

He adores cuddling..and is already a good lap dog.

Sweet, sweet personality.

---------------------

Well...that's all the news from my little corner this evening.

May you all have a lovely weekend.
