Green Thumb

These are the pictures of the pre-op flower bed.

I must have a green thumb. I am kind of obsessed with fixing up my yard while I am home for the summer. I can stroll through the nursery looking at all the plants for hours. I just love picking out plants and thinking of where to put them.

Maybe it is a product of not being able to sit still or just sit and relax. But since school has ended I have been trying to keep myself busy and have taken up yard improvement projects. The list of home improvement or as I like to call it home betterment projects is reaching an astronomical length. Poor Mylo...he is done with school in 3 weeks and looking forward to his summer off but I have a huge list of things for him to do around the house.

Speaking of Mylo, this weekend he came up to Bellingham to hang out. We had a really good time. This weekend was the Ski to Sea race in Bellingham and there are tons of festivities to partake of around town. It is always a good time and kind of a tradition for us to go and walk around Old Fairhaven where the race ends and where there are tons of vendors selling yummy treats. The Ski to Sea is a 7 leg race (8 people) that starts on Mount Baker and ends at Bellingham Bay in Fairhaven. It starts with a xc skier, then a downhill skier, then a runner, then a road biker, then 2 canoers, then a mountain biker, and finally ends with a sea kayaker. My brother, Matt and I were on a team together a few years ago and it was a blast!

Anywho, after Mylo left today (sad!!) I starting working on expanding one of my flower beds and doing some much needed weeding. I hate weeding and I spent 2 hours weeding today! Yuck! Here are the post-op results......
