Thursday was my day off.



I got some fertilizer and topsoil and started some flowers and some greenery in my front yard.
I felt, a little like, "This Old House". Trying to renew the front yard of my new and precious home.
My camera woman documented everything that I did. What I am thinking about doing and how we placed the first 4 green ground cover, in their place. She was fastidious to include my every word of design desires and to put the camera right in my throat as I thought out my plan.
I want a small path of cement blocks leading from the side to the front patio. I want a simulation botanical garden in the backyard, with a path to nowhere. Elephant ears and shady areas to make preparation for the possibility of young couples being established and place for them to sneak away and show eachother secret affections. I hope that they will establish their nests, in my yard. Both, my children and young birds. Maybe, I will be able to establish an aviary and grow my own finches and such.
I do want puppies and bunnies, in a little cage, out my back door. Ginger and snap are doing well, but peachypoo, seems to have succumbed to a fever from the cold and snowfall, unexpected that we had. I do miss her. She was so beautiful and ostentatious. She had no inhibitions to show her plumes in or outdoors. I am glad we photographed her, but, I will attempt to do CPR on her, in the yard in the Springtime.

They had strawberry plants and blueberry trees, at Lowes, which I was eyeballing, desirously. Maybe, I will be able to include them in my investments to my yard. I needn't write it down, because, my understudies are listening and taping my everyword, those girls. My Evvy has the camera, in my mouth, even when there is no camera. What a great reminder that this is to me, that what I do, they will imitate. Grandma Ruth used to say "Pete and repeat". That meant, a child is in the room and they are sure to hear and reiterate the sentence in the wrong context. We were so often Pete and we were certainly repeat.
Lord, help me to say and do good things for them to imitate. I am so often forgetful of my young understudies. Amen.
