I hurt. Everywhere.
I bought preemie-pansies this weekend and a LOT of mulch. Preemie because they are itty-bitty little things. The original plan was to plant pansies and mulch. I thought I bought 96 pansies, but it was 144. I, apparently, struggle with simple multiplication. And I probably still need about 60 - 80 more.
I have four large holly bushes on one side of my house that were looking very overgrown and out of control. I like the natural look to my bushes, and brie...

It's cold here this morning. Brrr. Good thing I took the boy shopping over the weekend! He woulda been chilly with no warm clothes that fit.
Speaking of the boy...have you ever just looked at your kid and thought "oh my GOD that boy is growing up fast!!!" I looked at him last night during dinner and he just looks so grown up..

He is about 5'1 and around 130 lbs...and only 10.5 years old. His little boy body is starting to turn into a little man body.
