Green is appearing in various spots around our house.. .finally! During our trip to IL, we made a detour passed the John Deere Landscapes in Des Moines to pick up some items to help out our poor little lawn. Jason got home and pulled out his spreader from somewhere under the snow blowers, etc to spread some fertilizer. He wasn't all to sure how much it would help. Well, it was certainly nice to wake up the next morning to find that it had worked as intended. The only problem was that he ran out a ways before he finished the majority of our west lawn. As you will see below the JD Landscapes stuff works! He is going to have to bust out that second bag so our yard doesn't look so funny.. half green..half dead. And yes. We know our tree is still leaning.
I was able to get in some flower planting today. Jason is holding me back from going crazy because the farmers around here told him we need to wait until after Memorial Day to plant anything or it is just money waisted. He did allow me to plant some in hanging baskets and the whiskey barrels so we are able to cover them from the frost yet. YEAH! It is looking like some life around here just a little bit!
Ella and I went to work again on the driveway. Still needing just a bit more leveling out so we got to pulling our drag. Ella has certainly developed a love for our green machine. As soon as we set her free in the garage she runs over to the mower. Climbs on top. Attempts to grab the key to start it and moves the steering wheel back and forth like she is going somewhere. Anytime the lawn mower starts up, if she is not on it, she throws a fit! I think someone is going to enjoying some lawn mowing hours this summer. Shhhhhh... Don't tell John Deere Safety.
The basement bathroom is coming along nicely. A bit slower than Jason would like.. but it is coming. Uncle Jeremy is going to be here this week, so Ella is going to make a list for him to get some stuff done around here for her. Including some painting that Mommy can no longer do..... That upstairs office Jason moved into when we first got here sure didn't last long. We are already going to have to move him downstairs to make room for a new bedroom upstairs.
That's all from ND! Miss everyone!

Mille,
Good to see you while you were home, Miss Ella is growing too fast. It's finally warming up here too. don't feel bad about the flowers, you are ahead of me. I don't have mine planted yet, but planning on it tomorrow. Larry is just wanting to get one field planted, hasn't started yet due to the weather this spring.
Congratulations again on your news. Hope to see you soon.
ps. we used to give rides on the lawn mower too when the kids were little...they loved it..just be careful.

Good to see green grass, beautiful flowers and two cute girls on your mower.
Congrats on your news! Can't wait to get updates on Breuer baby #2!
