I know I've been absent from the blogosphere for a few days, but I have been busy. I have spent mornings in my backyard (well, part of the mornings), cleaning up the mess that the weather and good old Skipper have done. As it turned out, Skipper had dug just enough holes in just the right places that I had to do hardly any digging to plant my nandinas. I just had to rough up the soil a little and add my garden soil.
However, while I was planting, Skipper Lou Blue could not get it through his head that I didn't need any more holes dug. We have had quite a few battles this week.
So the nandinas are planted and the pebble walkway is restored. All I have left to do, I think, is to place large stones (which I have) for a border and add mulch around the plants. (The stones will keep the rain from washing the mulch down into the walkway, I hope.) Jesse went to Lowe's yesterday and got me three large bags of pine bark mulch. It looks like enough to mulch my whole neighborhood, so I should have some left over for later work.
Of course, after yard work, or any kind of physical labor, I'm wiped out for the rest of the day. Consequently, I have not been upstairs to the Big Mac (where I blog) or in the sewing room for several days. I'm feeling pretty well this morning, but I've decided to lay off a day of yard work and let my body recoup some spoons.
Lori and Greg returned from their travels on Sunday night and stopped by to pick up Daisy and Curtis from doggie camp. (I miss those mutts.) They brought me a bunch of goodies. A pretty t-shirt, a bag of Moose Balls (honey roasted peanuts), and the cutest little bear magnet. Thanks, my sweet friends. And thanks for trusting your good doggies with me and my mutts.
My friend Sharon B. sent me pictures of the Best Little Quilt Show quilts that I didn't get around to photographing. So tomorrow, I'll show you them.
For now, I have some blanket stitching on a dollhouse block to finish.

Cheers for planting your little nandinas in the holes Skipper so thoughtfully pre-dug for you and I hope you can convince him his excavation help is no longer needed or wanted!
Here's hoping your spoon supply is replenished soon!
Have to run so here are some hugs for you ...
Hugs!
