Fun day in the sun!

We have been so soggy for so long here! Seems like summer will never come, but today I had a glimpse and was able to get out and work on some of my flower and garden beds. Tomorrow we are having a huge dumpster delivered for the weekend and we plan to move 10 yards of dirt, sod and rock out of the upper half of the back yard. Then we are going to have 9 yards of gravel delivered to put down which will be covered with Sand and eventually with paving stones. :) Our goal is to make a covered sitting area in the back corner where the garden box used to be. This should be accomplished in the near future! We also plan to put down hogs fuel (splinter free bark) along the bottom half of the back yard where we will be putting up a play structure and play area. We would also like to put in some kind of water structure--although we don't know what or where that will be yet. :) We are so excited!!! Our back yard has been a swamp since we moved in and we are about to change that and make our little back yard into a use able area. :) I will post pictures soon!

I had fun today planting some annuals in my beds. They don't look like much yet, but it won't be long and they will take off and spread everywhere!

Took Ryan to his Headstart appointment today. The consensus was that his is moving in the right direction. His speech is improving and when he works at it he is able to say most of his sounds correctly. As far as the other concerns they pretty much assured me that he was bright and quite ready for Kindergarten. That he could do anything he wanted and tried to do--that probably he most of the time just didn't take the time to do things carefully--always busy and on to the next thing. I will meet again a few weeks for the final observations. But overall I think all is well.

Got a new Alexander McCall Smith Book tonight at Borders. "The Miracle at Speedy Motors" another No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency Book for those of you that are fans! If you aren't you should be! I am anxious to start reading. I have been out of reading for so long--when I start I can't seem to stop so I have avoided it--but the time has come. Let the reading begin!

By the way I love comments :) I know that many people are reading this blog, but I would love for you to just drop a comment to say hey :) Thanks! Peace!
