Mary, Mary Quite Contrary...

Isn't it beautiful? Brown, lovely, and lush...DIRT! Just ask Faith how lovely it is.

Because Mike and I have no clue how to get anything to grow in this red dirt/clay we had real dirt delivered. Yes, we actually had to pay for it, but when the grass starts growing it will be well worth it!!

Remember a couple of weeks ago when we planted the daffodil bulbs? Here they are in all their glory!! It is so wonderful to look out at something actually growing in our barren yard.

Yes, that is a wee bit of grass growing along with the daffodils..

A Little Vent!

I don't want this post to sound like complaining, because really it isn't. It is more a sharing of my frustration and venting.

Here in Virginia we have red dirt. Well, when it rains this dirt becomes more like potter's clay. Put into this equation a dog, a cat, a non-landscaped yard, and an A type personality (me) equals ARGH!!!! Oh my gosh! I'm going nuts. Washing the floor, vacuuming, and laundry have taken on a life of their own in this house when it rains. (Remember: I'm not complaining just venting.) I do so love it when it rains, but right now it is a little frustrating.

On a positive note: I've still had time to knit and finished dad's Christmas present and just about finished a baby gift for someone Mike works with. Life in Virginia is goooood!
