The grape hyacinths are blooming & so pretty. My daffadils & tulips are coming up even though I planted them according to the package but I think it was too deep. I should probably dig them up this fall.
The last two mornings we've been watching Mama Robin build her nest outside Brett's bedroom window. They nested there last spring & it seems they've returned and are using the same location this year. I'm so amazed at the hard work they do!
Beautiful nest - from the front yard view
On Saturday I bought some plants for the pot next to the front door but then is started to rain so they didn't get planted. They're still not planted because I decided to spray paint the pot first. It's almost done, just another coat or two before I can plant. I'm going to spray paint our mailbox a different color too. It's dark green but soon to be beige.
Brett asked to plant strawberries this year so we found this little pot. I can't imagine it will produce much but we don't have room for strawberry plants.
I'm anxious to try these recipes: Warm toasted marshmallow S'mores bars & Pineapple Stuffing I'm thinking the bars for Friday night & the stuffing on Sunday.
Last night Damon & I went to KMart & loaded up on cleaners & bath products with double coupons. We saved $36.14. Money Saving Mom has a list of offers. There's lots of $1 & $2 coupons! I'm headed back there for a couple things I missed & stopping in at Walgreen's too for a few of their deals. (after my massage appointment!)
What a cute idea....I think that would be neat to do with my boys!
