I stopped in to see if this place had come back to life with the demise of The Hearth. Looks like it has.

Not sure where I'll call home now. But glad to see Kimmy hasn't disappeared from the face of the earth, just the hearth! :)

So what have I been up to? I'm taking two classes this term so I've been doing lots of homework. Also have done a bit of traveling both business and personal and am ready to just stay home. I've gotten a start on my flower beds but need a nice weekend to do a whole lot more.

Hi Tricia! I so sad to see the hearth end. Thank you for you warm and kind words to me. It means alot.

Flowers! Lets talk flowers! I need at least a week to get my yard where it needs to be. Planted some wavying petunias and then thanks to Kansas weather,they were pounding into the dirt, but good! I'm hoping they will come out of it and be just fine, have to wait and see on that one. I love getting out in the dirt and planting flowers. I'm not a veggie garden type, but you say flowers, I'm there. :-) Replanted a bunch of creeping phlox around my trees. They took quite a beating this winter and I'm hoping they take off where I transplanted them. My irises are all in bloom and so are my peonies. My lilac bush is in full bloom and outside my front door smells like heaven. I love this time of year, but fall is a big fav of mine too. What kinds of flowers do you have in your flower beds?

Well I had planted bulbs last fall and so I had tulips, daffodils, crocuses and grape hyacinth (spelled that wrong I think). So they have all been done blooming for weeks!!! But I'm waiting for the leaves to brown up a bit more before I cut them down, the daffodils are ready to be cut this weekend, the tulips could be another 2 weeks or so. I don't want to cut them down too soon or they won't come back up next year.

So far I've planted 5 hanging baskets and three pots. I can't tell you what most of them are! LOL I just go buy stuff that will bloom all season and work well in pots and with low moisture in case I forget to water them!

I plan to cut down the daffodils this weekend and will put some summer flowers out there, maybe impatiens cause they did so well last year. I have a small flowerbed up close to the back of my house that is very dry soil and gets full sun in the afternoon and there I am going to plant some day lillies (yellow) and some small purple flowers and some white flowered ground cover. It is allsupposed to be good with very little water in dry soil and full sun. And they are perennials so hopefully they will come back year after year!

My daffodils and all the early flowers are already gone. I'm needing to get my summer flowers in or it will be too late. I love impatiens. They do really well here too. I have a ton of those old fashioned corn lilies all around the house. They just are so hardy and keep coming year after year. Had some glads for a while, by the darn grasshoppers did them in. I plant a ton of morning glories on my fences. They are so lush and great coverings.
