the garden goddess is back

oh my. where to start?
i've discovered more in my lawn...a white viola with purple dots, a purple viola with yellow petals, a white viola, asters, chrysanthemums, more echinacea, centaurea, and a new phlox.
i just spent 3 hours on my hands and knees, digging up dandelions and carefully cutting the grass with hand shears around my beloved lawn perennials so that when rockstar hubby mows the lawn, he won't come near them. i have a blue recycling box full of dandelions. and no, they all did not come out with their long taproot. i will suffer later i suspect. but it's so beautiful. looking across the green lawn with purple and yellow and white and pink...so worth the sore shoulders and aching abs. (perhaps i found a new workout regime?)
had an awesome time with the LORD this morning. 3 hours of devotions and encouragement.
still have to clean the house for tomorrow. oops. but at least upstairs doesn't have to be done as no one is allowed upstairs lest wake the sleeping babe.
clean underwear...hmmmm...guess i'll have to do laundry tonight. perhaps hubby has an extra pair?
