A Work Day in the Yard and a Coup in the Coop!

Today was a good day.

It was a tiring day.

It was a work hard day.

But it was a good day.

I decided that if I was going to finish up some projects and do them right then I HAD to buy some plants.

Don't just half way do my projects.(which I do all the time because I feel bad about spending the money).....do it right!

So I made up my mind and went to Walmart.

  Thirty minutes later my buggy is overflowing with plants.

People are staring.

I feel they are thinking "We are just trying to feed our family and she is buying a cart full of plants!

She has more money than she needs obviously....sheesh!"

So when I recognized someone in the store, what was the first thing I said loudly...."We may not eat this week but I'm going to have some flowers!"

I'm not rich but I've got my priorities right.....:)

Anyway....I'm thinking I'll spread these flowers all around and cover most of my projects.........wrong.

I think I used almost all of them on two areas....:(

Here is the before of one of my projects

I decided I needed to stain my posts and paint my lattice and add more flowers....

The after:

Better?.....I think so...:)

I refreshed the coop with new mulch and added some flowers to the bed and added a little white picket fence at the bottom but I still have to stain the posts and paint the lamppost and a few other things.

Oh....and paint the chairs red.

Many projects to come....:)

But as I was working on the coop......Millie walked up to me and said "Psst.....we need to talk to you"

I said "OK"....and I noticed the other girls had already gathered together and were whispering.

They said "Can you neuter the Rooster?  We have voted that either he is neutered or he has to go!"

One of the girls has already found a one bedroom condo.

I told them I would see what I could do about getting the Rooster neutered.....I didn't know he was right behind me....

"WHAT DID YOU SAY?"

Oops.....sorry Foghorn......
