My days as a driving instructor are over!

Well, everyone in our house is now a licensed driver… despite the fact that we were a little off on setting up the maneuverability course in our driveway with the distance from the front two cones to the top cone. But.. it all worked out, even though our course was a bit odd to say the least! Our poles consisted of a candy cane, broken broom handles, and a Swiffer handle, lol.

I don’t think I’ve ever laughed so hard when practicing this! “Watch out! Ooooo, you just hit the candy cane!”

Garden Monday – sigh

Posted on May 23, 2011 | 7 Comments

I finally started to tackle the overgrown garden and start getting it ready for this season. One good thing about the monsterous rains we’ve had the last 2 months is that it’s delayed having to do this at all. Of course in return for that little treat, the weeds are growing at a record rate.

I ended up getting up all the big clumps of grass and this is what I have left to do. Then use the rototiller. I might actually have something growing by September at this rate. Well, actually…. at least I’ll have onions!

Happy Monday everyone!
More gardening fun over at Feet Off The Table!
