Earth Day

 

          Yesterday was Earth Day, only I forgot. LOL, I still managed to celebrate it unknowingly. My kids and I planted some special grass and catnip for our cats to enjoy on the patio, and in the front yard, I planted flowers—some pretty red ones mixed with some greenery. Most of my neighbors were also outside the past few days planting flowers in their front yards. The trees on our street are also green and fluffy again. I guess it is officially Spring here. That means Summer will be arriving any day now, LOL.

          Due to the heat coming, I need to mow the yards before it gets too hot. I have a love-hate relationship with mowing. It is hard and I hate having to do it in the heat, but I love the look of my yard afterwards and the sense of accomplishment I feel at having gotten it done all by myself. Plus, it burns lots of calories :)

          I really enjoy puttering around my house, LOL I did not understand that when I saw my grandparents doing it. They always wandered about their homes, finding things to do. I do that now. I look for anything I can tidy up or make look better. Or sometimes I just look around and feel good about what I have accomplished all on my own. I am truly thankful that I managed to buy a home before the housing market went crazy. It is the best financial decision I have ever made. Plus, I simply love turning it into a home for me and my little family.
