Weekend in the garden

After spending Friday catching up from working 12 days straight, as well as grocery shopping I managed to fit in a side trip to the nursery.  I bought 7 flats of inpatients as well as 14 new guinea inpatients, coleus, sweet potato vines, spikes & vinca vines.   Yesterday & today I spent in the yard mowing, trimming & planting.....it was very cloudy all day but perfect for doing yard work.




 The rhododendrons are spectacular this year in spite of getting winter burn on the leaves.
 This is Solomon's Seal
 Love this color fuchsia!
 This was my Mother's day gift.


I probably have about half the gardens done & if you notice the big blue tarp in the driveway, none of the mulch spread!  I guess I'm a little behind!

Designer "doggy uggs"

Poor Molly has been having a hard time already this winter with the snow. She has good size pads on her feet which are "webbed" like a lab's foot.  When she goes in the snow it builds up in between her pads & forms a hard piece of almost ice-like snow.  Then she holds her foot up for someone to pull it out.  I decided to make her her own boots. Jessica had spent the night here as we went to First night for new years....more on that later.....so we "googled" how to make dog boots & then modified it to work for Molly.  Keep in mind these were boots you could make in 10 minutes.  It took approx 10 mins to measure Molly's feet.  Two hours later here's the results I did decide to make her 2 for each foot figuring she would be like any typical kid & lose a couple here & there. We had to go to W*lmart in the middle of the project to get velcro to make the fasteners.  We then made her wear them around the house for a while ...

Molly bike riding????

Popster has been teaching Molly to run along side of his bike.  It has been a slow process but she's finally getting it.  They start off very slowly.......  then speed up a little......  which is when she gets crazy& decides to "carry" the leash......  gradually she feels more comfortable....  then she begins to gallop.... & the ears start to flap!!!!!
