I need a gnome

The front flower bed is nearly complete. The only thing left to do is spread mulch. Everything has been covered with topsoil, plants are in the ground and Brian and I are happy with the outcome.

Yesterday Brian dug out the root ball from hell. Seriously, I think it was trying to reach Satan. The roots were long and extremely tough. It appeared an evergreen and a rose bush had some how become intertwined and even wrapped around a rather large pipe in the ground. Since the roots were located in the corner of the flower bed up against the concrete steps and landscape tiles it was a tight area to go digging. Fortunately man won over root and now a pretty little plant is in its place.

I also went to Joann's this weekend and spent my gift cards. It was so much fun. They were having a huge sale on garden pretties. Yes, like the rocks you can put in gardens which have words carved into them. Candle stakes and wind chimes all that type stuff. Fabulous! Plus I found some great fabric remnants for really cheap and am super psyched. I also decided I want to learn to make jewelry so I can sell it in my Etsy store along with what I sew.

Brian and I played Mario Kart last night. It was really fun to just goof off and hang out with him after working out in the flower bed. =o)
