Hi Irish- These I haven't planted yet...today. Jeff's been buying me bulbs here and there. I finally dug up the side yard yesterday. On the front side of the house I had dahlias; my pink, orange and lavender colored ones and glads (orange and yellow and a purple one), a fuschia, some snap dragons. They were all very pretty when in full bloom, but that's been over for a while and it was looking pretty bad. The dahlias were still blooming, but looking very messy. I left one dahlia where it was, but cut it to the ground and another that was still blooming. The rest I took out to rearrange with the bulbs that I just posted. The ground in this area gets covered with babies tears(Soleirolia solierolii), which actually looks kind of nice to me, but it gets kind of out of control. I took all of that out, pulled weeds, tilled the soil and then replanted all of the bulbs. Jeff helped me dig out this pecan tree (from the birds I'm guessing) it was in a bad spot, he cut back my two giant lavender bushes for me and helped me plant the last bit of the bulbs. Whew! It was a long day, yesterday. My body is a little sore today. I may have over done it a bit. I'm supposed to be outside planting some more... Take care :)

I'm just going to hop back into bed, and when Jeff comes home and asks me what hell is wrong with me?!? I'll tell him that my GOY pals told me that I should take it easy for a day or two, hehehe. No, I'm okay. The muscles are just a little sore.
