It's like temporary tattoos.(Though I'm told that many people get tattoos just for the endorphin rush.)<br /><br />Looks like an awesome picnic and just the perfect day for it.

The power wash is a good idea. but not paint. If you paint it you will have to paint it again and again until you die or it does. I'd recommend oiling it.<br /><br />iii. Can't be peonies in the basket -- they are a long-lived perennial that grows into a 3' bush. Petunia, perhaps?<br /><br />d. Perennials for the shady area: (for flowers) lilies of the valley, bleeding heart, Virginia bluebells, lungwort (pulmonaria); (for foliage) hosta, ferns; (for both) coral bells (heuchera). I see all the flowering plants I listed bloom in spring and early summer, so good foliage plants are a must. You can also fill in empty spaces with shady annuals -- wax begonias, impatiens, coleus.<br /><br />Go, you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38717514.post-72938005554864131532011-06-05T06:06:26.754-04:002011-06-05T06:06:26.754-04:00you yard is so pretty.

(2) it's intimate, positive attention in a way that most kids stop getting after they stop getting bathed by their parents. (3) it's time to be still but not wired. those are all things i'm betting that most people crave, kid or not.LisaBehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18026788742607295721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38717514.post-28281207799583297482011-06-04T15:37:03.399-04:002011-06-04T15:37:03.399-04:00I spent another 4 hours in the garden this morning...I spent another 4 hours in the garden this morning planting the seed things (beans). I will finish up the peas and beans next week add some more radishes and carrots and maybe some lettuce. Then I will be done.<br /><br />Can't wait for the blueberries and raspberries to ripen. I also hope the fig tree has figs this year.<br /><br />Oh yeah the corn goes in next weekend too.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05584169885072162604noreply@blogger.com
