Out of Hybernation

It has been ridiculously cold. In fact, it was so cold a couple of weeks or so ago that I didn't leave the house for five days. FIVE DAYS. The highs were in the mid 20's. There is a reason why we stick to living in the South, and this type of weather is not one of them.

Today finally the weather warmed up a bit, an although it did get much warmer than what would have sufficed, we enjoyed it! We got to go outside and do warmer-weather things. Norm pressure washed the fence so it can get sealed.

Again, just like when we lived in Atlanta, we didn’t seal the fence at the recommended time after installation, so now we have to pressure wash it so we don’t seal all the discoloration in.

And I planted bulbs that I got at work! Although, by the book, bulbs are supposed to get planted in late Fall. However, the horticulturist at work said to go ahead and plant them now and they will still bloom in the Spring. And as we all know, experience tends to go a whole lot further than the book (most of the time).

Hopefully here in a few weeks we will see pretty flowers like this:

Capetown - planted in the backyard planters

Sunlover - planted in the front platers

And if we don’t, my total investment of $6 will not break the bank. 

To be continued.......
