Where has my weekend gone?

Well, here it is another Monday morning... The weekends just go too quickly these days, sometimes I seem to get quite alot done other times I never have enough time to do what I should have.. Friday night seems so long ago right now that I could not even tell you what we did! I am sure it involved watching JAG reruns... lol and seriously that pretty much sums up what I remember about it. Can't remember if I have shared these Petunias with everyone, this is one of two containers we have next to our doors, they definately make me SMILE!
Saturday, I needed to get some garden time in ~ weeding ~ this one area seems to attract the monster mega weeds... ugh I am sure because is not completed and full with flowers there is plenty of room for those weeds to live. But before that has to happen I need to sit and enjoy the birds and watch for my little hummer!! lol. Kerry and I ended up at his sisters for the afternoon, he was powerwashing her house and I was taking photos for her of their gardens lots of flowers and creativity in these gardens, and of course watching her little hummer go to it's feeder and decide the drink was "stale" lol you should have seen my sil hustle to change out that food!! Then of course she wanted the little guy to come back, I'm sure he did but not while we were there. Pizza for dinner... yum .
Love this little area

The Butterfly Houses are too cute!
They were transplanting some Iris's in the gardens, and I was lucky to score some!! whooo hooo more plants, now I have to weed this area where they will go! Incentive... gotta love it.

Spent Sunday morning going for brunch at the Casino, stopped at Walmart on way home for treat for Sparky, then off to garden ~ once weeded it looks good again, then when I filled in the new plants, I see a vision of flowers ~ hopefully next year but they might not flower~ if not the year after should be fabulous!!! Now off to stalk my birds hehe this little hummer doesn't like the Lorry Papparazzi!!!!! he is quick and comes when I get up and step away from my viewing spot... sigh I just want to feature him in my scrapbook, maybe if I swear to stop stalking if he just poses nicely???
But I was able to catch the little sparrows and finches enjoying the waterfall and bird bath it is amazing to watch these little ones enjoying themselfs and it is one of the things that make me Smile.
Monday morning playing with Sparky (the cockatiel) and one jealous Tia (cat). Life can be as simple and or dramatic as you make it. I choose simple!
Now off to eat and rest before work. Oh and I found a fun author for those of you who like Janet Evanovich and the Stephanie Plum series, I reccomend Tamar Myers with her Den of Antiquity Series featuring Abigail Washburn, I am currently reading "Death of a Rug Lord" check her out.
Until next time!

  1. Love all your gardening photos and your bird watching tales...sounds divine. But I must admit, I love JAG more...Harm is my kind of handsome!!!

    Thanks for the book recommendations. I have several Janet Evanovich books but I haven't read them yet. I actually have 100's of books I haven't read. I used to read 2-3 books a week. Now I can hardly find the time to read my favorite blogs! LOL! One day time will be mine again and I can return to reading. Until then my beloved books will just have to continue collecting dust! :)

  2. well Harm sure does make me SMILE hehe. I don't know what it is but I have a book everywhere I go and sneak a few pages in when I can. Seems like I lounge and waste away my free time reading/stalking birds/gardening.. But with my little "getaway in my backyard" it's hard not to. Ahh Winter will be here soon enough for you to dust off those books Lisa! lol xoxo
