They're Back!

Last summer Froggie and her hubby did some re-design with their landscaping and her hubby pulled up some of the shrubs in front of their house. She called me and asked if I wanted them since they weren't going to re-plant them anywhere else and I said SURE! She brought them over and we planted them out around the house. I watered those babies religiously and tons of water at a time since it was so hot and dry here. They just didn't seem to be taking root. I still kept up the routine...I refused to give up on them. While out yesterday taking some photos...look at what is going on with the babies now!

I had noticed some green down in the base of a couple of them a few weeks ago but I didn't want to get my hopes up so I just let them be. Now there's no mistaking the fact that they are back. All but one of them is beginning to look like this one. I'm so glad I didn't give up. Now I just need to get all those dead, brown and yucky looking old branches cut off and we are back in business. YAY!

Still not much knitting going on...don't know why other than I can't seem to free up some time to focus on it. I got a little done at school waiting for the kids to get out and then a little more at speech therapy this afternoon.....that's it. I'm not happy about this situation and it must be fixed and SOON!

It's getting hotter here so the boys and I got out the air conditioner and put it back in the window...have one more to do tomorrow. I cleaned it up really good and made sure the filter was all shiny and clean and thankfully...it's working just fine. Very soon we're going to have to get busy with the grass cutting....I so hate the grass cutting. Good thing I've got two boys to delegate that nasty duty to. We've got a pretty big yard so it will take them both to get it done. Someone has to supervise ya know. :P

Okay enough talking your head off tonight. I'm going to try to sneak in a little knitting now. Sshh....don't want anyone to hear or they will "need" something. lol
