April showers bring May flowers

Yesterday I had a meeting after work so Molly & Emma had to be cooped up for hours. Thankfully I got home to almost no destruction. Usually Molly eats the mattress when I'm gone for too long. I think that's called separation anxiety:) Anyway, I took them on a long walk as a reward for being good and we came across this big, beautiful lilac bush. It reminded me so much of Mike and when we were first together. He used to pick them for me and leave them in my car because I love the smell of them. I can't wait for when we build our house so I can plant dozens of them.


I planted a ton of pansies in my flower beds this year. They were about the only thing that survived from last year so I decided that they were meant to be my kind of flower. I generally kill everything pretty quickly. Roberta came over and helped me decide where to put everything so it doesn't all grow together like last year. Needless to say, I am not the greatest gardener in the world but I'm learning!
