This Week

By Thehousethatlarsbuilt @houselarsbuilt
Do you ever feel like a chicken with its head cut off? Running around trying to check off your ever expanding to-do list? That's what this past week felt like and I'm afraid it will continue for the next couple of months. Gah! However, I decided not to work yesterday and instead Paul and I went hiking and I spent some time at the local nurseries picking out flowers for the garden and thereafter planting them. It's one of my favorite things to do though I admittedly do not know much about gardening other than what I learn through trial and error. Usually it comes through error--loads of dead plants.
