Short and sweet, what I’m celebrating this week:
Hubby fixed the lawn mower. And the weed-whacker. And the truck’s tailgate.
My cousin and his wife welcomed their first baby, a beautiful 8lb girl, on Wednesday!
My yard is a colorful palette of blooming Irises, Peonies, Pansies, and other bright shrubs, the names of which I know not (I just ask the kind people at the nursery for “drought-tolerant, sun-loving, low-upkeep plants”; they point, I buy).
There’s only 3 1/2 regular school days left (which means Summer is almost here!).
Hubs and boys took me golfing last Sunday, and I had lowest score on the first hole! (the only one I care to recount ;))
And last, but not least…
It’s FRIDAY, which means the weekend has begun. Enjoy everyone!

Wow. Thank you all for commenting. It's true…a well-tended yard and handsome-handy-hubby are definitely worth celebrating! Take care and may your summer bloom with friends, family, and good times. 🙂
Congratulations on having a great looking yard. My Dad loves his plants too and we try to make sure his flowers are well taken care of.Have a wonderful weekend! 🙂
Sounds like your husband it a fix-it man, good to have around. Even though you have a low score in golf, I hope you enjoyed it.
Send your hubby over! I have so many broken things that need fixing.
I loved the ZEST quote!
Lol! I don't know the names of half the plants in my garden either. But as long as they're growing and blooming, it doesn't matter 😉 Have fun with summer break and glad to hear all is being repaired.
I love your flower gardening technique. I think it's one that I might adopt myself!
I'm passing on a Liebster Award to you – cheers!

Lara…pics, hmmm? I'll have to see what I can dig up.
Meredith…school's already out? You have either my sympathy, or my congrats, whichever is most appropriate for you. 😉
Nancy…I'm sure hubs does not echo your sentiment. *g*
Thanks, Rebeccah. I think. I tooled the mower around yesterday and it was fun!
Rhonda…Yes. It was a great week and hubs helped make things much easier for me. 🙂
Nana…Yes. A healthy baby is a major celebration, and a very happy addition to our extended family. 🙂
Thank you all for commenting!

Yay for a lovely garden, and the fact you can now do the gardening since your husband fixed your equipment 🙂

Glad to hear the yard is looking good–got any pictures for us? 🙂
Hi MJ…I don't have a lot of luck w/plants, which is why I have no indoor plants and hubs maintains outside ones. ;). Hope you enjoy your weekend too! Take care.
I always ask for the low-upkeep plants, too. And yet, they still don't do very well.
Enjoy your weekend!
