Nursery Shopping

This was the first Easter that Blaine and I did not spend with family - ever. It was odd - I thought I was going to be fine with it, especially since we have been so swamped. But the more I started thinking about it on Saturday night - the more it bothered me. I knew I had plenty to do on Saturday and Sunday to keep my mind off of it - we had some nurery shopping to do.

To make me feel better, Blaine promised me a special meal on Sunday - smoked everything. We had chicken, beef, sausage links - and now we have full meals every night this week....more beef, more chicken, tri-tip and pork.

(See Blainer cutting some ribs for dinner....mmmmm.)

Saturday Blaine and I went nursery shopping.....not THAT kind of nursery shopping. We were shopping for trees, bushes, flowers and other landscaping necessities. (And you thought for a minute I was pregnant? - Just a late April Fool's on you!)

Sunday, we hit Lowe's for the second time in two days for more landscaping needs. Our yard still needs lots of work but is beginning to look fabulous! Love it! We now have 5 trees planted in the front yard, several rose bushes, boxwoods, other bushes and an entire selection of tall grasses and flowers just waiting to enter the ground. Top that off with about 5 more trees - and we will be officially landscaped! Yay!

I will have to tell you - I am sore today. I donned my winter garb and pink rainboots yesterday and fought the elements of chilly weather and drizzle. But our hard work is paying off - and that is all that matters. I will post pictures later.
