Takin' Care of Business...

The Husband is of to Branson all weekend long... with about 40 High School Seniors!  He was appointed as one of the Senior Class Sponsors this year - this title comes along with a being a sponsor for the Senior Trip.  That's right a Senior Trip!  When I was in HS, there was no fancy senior trip!!!  All we got was a senior prank - which we weren't supposed to do and probably got in trouble for it & a senior skip day - which we also were NOT supposed to do and got punished for if we participated!  So while he is off playing at Silver Dollar City and the Tanger Outlet Malls - (SO NOT FAIR!) - Miss B and I have been busy in the yard!


First thing Saturday we went to the nursery to pick up the rest of the garden veggies - they had the cutest wagons to put all your plants in...
Tomatoes...


 We had to get these in honor of Miss B since we call her this all the time - 

Eggplant...


Jalapeños


Green Peppers


Asparagus - looks like a pile of dirt currently, so I spared you the picture
Blackberry 'Bush' - if you can call it that :)




Once we got all that in, we walked on Mass Street for a while and heard all the typical comments...
You need a saddle for that thing!
Is that a horse?!
You could ride that thing!
Look it's Marmaduke!
And so on and so forth...  I did hear a new one however which was kinda funny -
A guy casually walked up to us and said, "Hmm, you should've gotten a bigger one." Then casually walked away.


Then I started in on the front.  We have two areas in the front that have been sitting bare since we ripped out the nasty bushes that were there previously.  I finally found some flowers and bush-ish things I liked.  So here is the finished project - disregard the guy in the middle laying down on the job!




Hopefully in a month or so they will all be closer to full size so they actually fill in the space!
At the last minute, I decided to mow the lawn thinking I could get it done before dark - which typically would have been a possibility.  Unfortunately last weekend when I mowed, I had to put gas in the mower and I grabbed the first gas tank I saw - yep grabbed the wrong one.  I filled the tank with the gas oil mixture meant for the weedeater - Oops!  I figured it out pretty quickly so we are hoping it is okay, but we are still working out the kinks - like when the mower just stops randomly.  Hence why it took me about 1.5 hours to mow last night instead of 45 minutes.  Got it done in the end, but my lines were pretty crooked when I looked this morning!
We were all tuckered out Saturday night


Hope you all had a productive weekend too!
