Bed of Green...

We were up again at 7:30 am and out to door to do yard work by 8:30am. We had a lot of work to do and wanted to get a jump on it before it got hot. Beth started working on sucking up all the whirl birds and I started on the pots. I had to pull all 12 pots from the garage and cart them down to the pool area. After that was done, I realized that I did not have enough dirt to fill all the pots. So off to Home Depot I went. I wanted to check out their select on flowers and pots. They had the same selection of plants as everyone else. Oh how I miss the selection we found in Missouri. so I got my dirt and a couple of plants and headed home. I loaded up all the flowers and dirt and carted them to the pool area and started planting them. I finally finished the pots and headed to planting the wire baskets with portulaca. Beth finish her whirl bird project and looked at the water level on the pool. Boy is it a great shade of green and needed water drained off. So as she did that, I watered all the plants and went inside. It was 1:30pm and I could tell I was a little red. I took a shower. Who knew a nice cold shower could be so relaxing. Beth finished up outside and then took her shower. We had a quick lunch and then relaxed the rest of the day. I did notice the flower bed next to the house is all green. The spring flowers are gone and the summer ones have not bloomed yet. So we have a bed of green as seen in today's photo. We had a great dinner of flank steak, salad, and sliced tomatoes. After dinner, we went back to Home Depot to get some pots. I needed a couple for the tomato plants we have and they are very colorful. We have both the girls tomorrow. Rylee will be her around 8:30am and Beth will pick up Jojo after school. Also the air conditioner guy will be here to service the unit in time for summer.
