Mary, Mary, quite contrary...

...how does your garden grow? Ok, so if any of you know me you know that I am not a fan of gardening. Too much maintenance with the watering, pruning, weed control, and don't even get me started on the bugs. To give you an idea of my expertise check out this picture of a weed that was growing in my front yard. Actually, I think it's pretty impressive. No maintenance and the thing is already 4 feet tall!

Anyhoo, so now onto the gardening part. No... it isn't Mary being the gardener. It's actually Nathan. He's a big fan of peppers and such so he planted a little garden in the back yard. I'm not sure if anything has come up yet, but I'll let you know once they do. I can't wait! Although I don't like the work of a garden, I most certainly appreciate what it offers. Yummy fresh veggies!
Finally, in case you guys were wondering who my favorite person is this week.....it's Steve!! I had some friends over this weekend and just so it looked extra special, Steve did some mulching for me. I so wish I had a before picture to show you guys what it looked like, but I'm sure most of you probably remember, loads of dead grass, tons of weeds, etc. I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am! I can't stop looking at it! Even when I'm in the house I can't resist the urge to take a peek out my window at it. It just looks so good! Whenever we have more time, we are going to take out the old stumps and roots and eventually mulch up the side of the house and in the front yard. Next summer.....flowers! Yep, I said it. I may even take the plunge. It just looks so good! Have I mentioned that? Hmm, now I wonder if Steve will be available for watering and such....
