I can't believe it is Friday already and my holidays are soon to be over. Good thing I have another week after only having to work for 4 days.
This weeks we helped Corey's dad paint his decks, garage and all the window frames. I was so sick of painting by the 3rd day. But he paid us all which was so nice of him. The kids now all have spending money for the ex next Saturday.
Katie finished her babysitting job and made a ton of money. I am making her put 200 in the bank and then she can spend the rest.
Tomorrow we are going to Meeting Lake with friends. We have lots to do today to get ready. It is amazing how much stuff you have to take even though we are only going for 1 night.
I finally found my perennial book that I bought last year. I can go through it and plan what I want to buy more of now. It is a great reference book that is made for Canadian Prairies. It is a guide of the top 100 perennials for our area. Which to me is perfect. I have already learned the hard way about a few perennials and have lost some, but that was more from planting them in the wrong place. I now know the next time I buy an astilbe, it will go in the front of the house in the shade, not against the house on the south side where the last plant fried to death.
