I went to Lowe's for some contact cement (for mounting rubber, see below) and walked out with this lovely new rose bush. I could have added 3 or 4 more other rose varieties to my cart but I will let my kids get me some for Mother's Day and my birthday later this month :) Isn't this Diana divine?
Right out front we have this lilac bush – I love this time of year when the fragrance surrounds our home, inside and out. Mmmm, take a deep breath.
The TruGreen guy stopped by this week. He was walking the neighborhood trying to drum up business. He thinks we need to get rid of the clover patches in our yard. So I made him wait a second while I fetched my "lucky soup". He nodded and walked away after claiming he had never seen a real four leaf clover, let alone a bowl of them. I love how he took a second look out of the corner of his eye as he walked back down the driveway past my lucky "weeds".
This week we had a lucky visit from my Mom to celebrate Fallon's confirmation! She knows some of my Valley Ridge friends will see this so she said to say hello. Hello.
The first batch of Hot Topic has been arriving around the globe! There have been a few questions from first-timers to unmounted rubber. First, let me say the images are really packed in on the sheet and you have to carefully cut them apart. I know I know I know you are cursing me that some are too close and you are saying you didn't realize you had to have a surgical residency before cutting rubber. Just take it slow and try using a utility knife in the tight spots. Second, here is a quickie on how I mount my rubber with kneeling pads. (They were in the dollar section of my Target this week, bonus!)
