Throwing Away the Crutches
Hello all. This is a vulnerable one. In case you're wondering about the title, it's not referencing my newly pulled back that occurred while dumping out a bag of mulch Sunday night. Not lifting it... dumping it. It's been a week full of back braces and squishy ice packs . Yay. Saturday I forced a weigh in, at least for myself. We basically haven't weighed in since January. From that point on it was dealing with holiday weight gain and all of our projects (bathroom reno, finishing that reno, carpet installation on the stairs, work instability (still going on) then the never-ending saga with the water coming in on the subfloor/roof hole, etc) so our lives were just fitting in walks where we could when it was cooler. We actually did that quite a bit until the weather got unbearable. When I had to go in for my vulvoscopy June 3rd, I accidentally caught a glimpse at my weight and it leveled me. I was 10 lbs higher than when we came bac...
Would be nice to see some perennial flowers coming up every year with minimal effort haha.
ReplyDeleteSince we put in the purple sticker bush out front we don't plant flowers anymore. But we do buy potted plants and put those out front. We have a big wooden planter that like so much (except for how heavy it is! lol) that we put a big Rio Dipladenia in every year that has this cool banana leaf in the middle and the flowers off on that thing are amazing. It lasts well into the late autumn and is so easy to care for. I'm thinking of doing a few smaller pots by the sticker bush, more in the back where they can stand taller and make a nice border. And last year I did not do our little bridge with the 3 mini-size openings but plan to this year. We buy the 3 - 4 inch containers and use some food flower and they bloom like crazy for the whole summer. Then when it's over, into the field they go and I recycle the little containers they come in.
