spending the day with violet

well, violets to be exact! We HAD a flowerbed full of them... Before!

and we conquered them! Larry and I spent about 4 hours weeding, moving some plants and mulching. It was a long day, but the result was well worth it.

Yesterday I finally finished the bathroom(scroll down for before pictures), put things back on the wall and cleaned up. I am pretty happy with the results. I plan to paint a couple more things; the vanity cupboard, the light fixture(the metal is rusty), the exhaust fan cover, and the door and then I need to clean up some grout, re grout in a few places, and seal the grout. I am hoping to eventually redo the flooring, but that will be the last thing I do.

EggplantPeppersTomatoesHere are a couple pictures of some of the goodies that we can't wait to eat. Since we had to transplant things from DeMotte here, we haven't had as much as we would have, a little moving shock for all of us!

We also were blessed by seeing a hummingbird at out feeder tonight. We were excited since we had put one up in the past and never saw anything. We put this up two days ago and they found it already.

So it was a busy couple of days, and we are ready to relax on Sunday...may you a have a blessed Lord's day.

We have plenty to praise God for; great cool weather to get lots accomplished.
