Today I had mostly an outdoor day. And it shows in the house. So, I’m just sharing outside pictures in this post!
Went to Menards early this morning. Best time to go before it gets busy. Really, if I don’t get there by about 10a.m., I save it for another day. Needed birdseed and a few flowers. Tried to control myself. Was excited to pick up some violas on clearance for $1 though! Fill a giant flower pot of mine for just $5. Sounds good.
Outdoor Time
At home, I spent time hard raking the garden. No idea if that’s the proper technical term or not. However, it’s a lot more flat now. It was so hilly and uneven after we rototilled it a couple weeks back. Ready for planting now.
Planted my new Bleeding Heart plant (I buy one a year for filling up a garden space in our backyard). And my two additional sweet William, wild blue phlox plants. Love the smell of it. Realized that really I should be planting it closer to the deck. Ah, an idea for a new garden space!
Moved round to the front to fill in the large flower pot plus ponder a few herbs I bought yesterday. Is it me or has the price of garden herb starts increased? Still waiting on my favorite garden store for most of those. Added lemon verbena and mojito mint to the back deck rail. And just set a rosemary and lavender in my big front porch pot. Plus added another lemon verbena to my herb wall in front of the porch. Just starting that project.
Driving Lesson Time
After lunch, I took J for another driving lesson. He did pretty good. Just had to remind him once that we weren’t in the UK and maybe to drive on the right side of the road, ha! Then, we tackled a few busier roads complete with waiting for a train. While he did good, I’m not saying I didn’t come home and take some deep sniffs of the lavender and rosemary.
Dinner Time and Then, Bunco
Now, it’s taco time and then, I’m off to Bunco for the night. Just wanted to get a quick post in for the day.
What are you up to on this lovely Tuesday?

Hahahah I had to chuckle at your driving lessons, it’s how I felt with Jasmine, and still do sometimes. My heart is in my throat the whole time until we pull back into the driveway.
Yes! He’s honestly not too bad though he did ask me what he should do with his hands while stopped at a traffic light. Um, keep them on the wheel! LOL.
