Luckily, I had Gina and Gia a couple days last week and the back is looking pretty good. All the flower beds are moved and and reset. We have a lot more room this year than before. But I also have a lot of uneven ground to work on. Its going to take several wheelbarrows of dirt to fill in some of the holes where the flower bed rocks use to be. And gophers. And moles. And tree stumps. And of course we had the several inches of rain after all our work, to settle stuff and really pack in what we had done. But my flowers and what little grass is there is really happy now. I am hoping that the taking out of some trees back there will allow for some sunshine into our world (yes, along with the heat!) and we can give the grass a fighting chance now.
So on Friday, its time to pull out the gloves, the weed eater, the shovels, rakes and hoes, the wheelbarrow, and the truss. And put my butt to work!
And the one thing we will have this year that we didn't have last year...
A FIRE PIT!!!

You need to call in to work to begin with! Let them handle it!! heehee
It will turn out grand even if everything's not perfect......just have another shot or margarita or martini!
I'll have the books in the mail on Friday...so you should have them at the beginning of the week!
Jello shots? hmm.. one for the money... Two for the show... Three to get ready. .It will all come together for you Georgia, I'm sure of it!
GEORGIA~ This sounds like the PARTY OF ALLLLL PARTIES!
With all you have on the agenda and all the gals who will be your helpers........it will all come together at the appointed hour!
Just wish I could be there to enjoy all the fun and meeting all the sweet gals involved!
GOOD LUCK! Hugs: ♥♥♥Liz in PA
huh...I think I should help you try those margaritas and jello shots...I could be good for something...
okay, here's the easiest and best margarita recipe I know. And it's kick butt. Could be why it's called the Big Ass Mambo Margarita
1 bottle of Corona
1 can of 7 up (not sprite)
1 can of frozen limeade
1 frozen limeade canful of tequila
Do not mix in a blender! Mix in your favorite pitcher and drink. or if you are like me, just get a big straw and drink it out of the pitcher...(I didn't say that out loud did I?)
