I had such a productive weekend.  It seems like the first weekend in forever that I was home for both days, and it was wonderful.

Since the weather was nice, and I have spring fever, I focused on outdoor yardwork.  Mom was visiting and was happy to help out and go shopping with me for misc things, etc. 

So I

1. took about 6 bags of leaves to the transfer stn
2. took some twigs and all of the garland/wreath material that’s been sitting in a pile next to my trash for several weeks.
3. weeded and pruned the front garden,
4. got some pansies and planted them around,
5. put in a couple of bulbs,
6. researched how to reinforce my tulips and daffodils to get more bloomage next year (and bought bone meal which may have been amistake but will give it a try)
7. I repotted a HUGE bird of paradise plant that I have (split it in to 2 pots, actually). 
8. snipped some forsythia to bloom indoors
9. bought Adirondack chairs for deck, a big watering can, more tall wire fencing for front garden area
10. bought reinforcements to put on coffee stand that mom uses
11. molly-bolt type things to fix the toilet—paper holder in the upstairs BR (partially successful – only issue is that it’s not exactly flush w/ wall but it looks better than before by far.

My sink looks good.

I need to clean up house tonight in prep for Garvey delivering shelves for DR (hopefully).

Pollen is in the air (bummer) but so is spring (yay!!!!).
