lazy afternoon...

after lunch we went back outside...
it was still misting...
but not enough to come through the trees...
tiger lilies are almost ready to open...
and we decided we were bored so DH and I got ready to head for the antique mall...
had to pay my booth rent and snag up my "big" check...
99 cents from paying my booth rent this month...
but I was thrilled...
it's only had 2 weeks of being stocked and rearranged by me personally...
and a pair of lamps sold this morning...
so 1/2 of the rent is already covered for next month...
so I think June will be a good month in there!
we drove through the street that my grandparents, mom and father in law used to live...
but I didn't take the camera today because of it being dark out...
mom's house looked great, she would have been happy...
my grandparent's house was wonderful!
my fil's house looked sad...
bushes were gone...
they had painted the porch a barn red/brown color and did a bad job of it...
the blue spruce is almost completely dead...
needs mowed...
weeded...
just sad...
it never looked like that when he lived there...
they must have started working on the inside first...
would have loved to see the inside of all of them...
but that's a little rude...
I am not sure who owns the properties now...
the old neighbors are almost all gone, too...
it was a street of elderly people for a long time...
but one by one...
they have left here...
and now it's a whole different neighborhood...

then we drove through the parking lot at Walmart and the flowers didn't look that good, so we didn't even stop...
went to KFC/A&W and got a couple of their 49 cent ice cream cones and headed back...
stopped at the green house and picked out 2 4 packs of snap dragons...
I need to get them planted tonight or in the morning...

Craiger went out to Tia's...
DH is taking a nap...
spaghetti is already made for supper...
we have kind of been snacking on it this afternoon...
you know, just to make sure it's good enough for supper...

it's only 5:15, but I think I will take my shower and get my night gown on...
my hair will be dry by bedtime that way...
you all have a great evening...


cooler day...

over cast skies this morning left the temps lower than they have been...
the north fire pit area...
all cleaned up and sowed some grass seed out here...
picked up 2 more 4 packs this morning....
when we cleaned out the shed...
we found these cute little pots...
so DH and I worked on these and then replanted the hanging baskets...
they were not holding enough dirt and water...
found some deeper pots in the shed and used them...
but we added more pink to the deck and potting table area...
there wasn't a big selection...
went for petunias...
but most were too leggy...
so only did one pack of them...
then it began to drizzle so I put the phone and camera back in the house as we cleaned up and put things away...
only to go on and cut the stalks on the iris and weed the memorial garden...
moved a few little things...
sit out on the bench under the trees and watched it rain...
came in to do lunch...
not sure what the rest of the day will bring...

I was so sore last night...
it was bad...
but I am having a good day today...
being careful...
still sore but not miserable...
I am getting restless and want to get up and do something...
not sure what it will be but I don't think it's going to involve tv...
the guys think it has to be on 24-7...
not me...
I like my peace and quiet...
going to check to see if it's still raining...
but if it is, I may go out anyway!

Have a great day!
the week is flying by...
just one more day until another weekend!
