dropping by?

I thought it would be a good idea to visit my own blog. *haha*  Seriously though, I've been on an unplanned extended break as our house guest (read: mum) stayed on with us until yesterday.  She is doing well and is healing up fabulously from surgery. 

The past few days here have been very hot so I've been outside with Mr. hubby getting more yard work done.  Most of my plantings are in and the 3 yards of soil I ordered is now  equally dispersed between garden and grass seed.  The kidlets helped me with some of the planting and they will be happily surprised when things start growing.  I really wish I had some photos to show, but I've been up to my elbows in mud, dirt & more mud.  Not a good idea to touch the camera when messy.  I still have a few more things to do that are immediate, after that I will be back with camera in tow.  Toodles for now...
