Well, it has been a busy couple of days! Sunday I felt a million times better and went to church. Late Sunday afternoon after we all had long indulgent naps, we played outside and worked in the yard. Hubby and Big Boy kicked the soccer ball around while Pretty Girl and I clapped and cheered. Then Hubby worked on some landscaping while BB and I cleared the patio of brush and the weeds that were peeking up from the bricks. After the sun set, we all sat on a little patio loveseat and just looked at the stars. It was one of those moments that you just want to seal under glass for all time....peaceful, relaxed, loving. Monday was a productive day at work and then BB and I took away the recycling and went to the grocery. By the end of the night we were exhausted and sleepy. I would have rested happily if the Univ of Memphis had won the championship. I remember vividly the last time they were in the playoffs...23 years ago. Now that makes me feel old-especially since PG and I watched the game together. Tuesday and Wednesday have passed in a blur. Hubby and I have been talking about how fast time flies when you have little ones.

Regarding my container gardening...I bought the most wonderful magazine called what else, "Container Gardening." It is a special publication (read, no ads and $10) from Southern Living. I can't stop looking at it! I am so inspired for the patio!
