ahhh summer......

Phooey has arrived- (our little hummingbird). He came in last Monday. The first time we saw him was when Lauren was here for dinner so we all got to sit and stare together. I think Lauren and I were staring at Donald- wondering how a grown man could get so excited about a little bird! Since then my husband has done some yard work. He bought some rocks and put them in a ring around 2 trees in the front yard and moved some plants around, weeded and mulched. Today he bought a few flats of flowers and planted them in the flower beds on our back patio. He also installed a sprinkler system to water the flowers and other plants. He is quite excited about it and he did a great job. I wonder if we will notice a difference in our water bill over the next few months.
Memorial Day weekend is right around the corner. The BIG start to summer. I am not sure what this summer will be like.... so much anticipation for the sunny weather and BBQs and baseball games and walks by the lake and rummage sales and long hot days and fireflies. I can't wait. I plan to cherish every moment. I need to make my list of things that I want to do so I can get it all in and use my time wisely. Maybe I will even go on a hot air balloon ride! I will keep you posted on my adventures.
