I have a great idea

Since my daddy is going to fix me a garden and it’s been raining so much, I had a brain storm!!  I’m going to get some rain barrels. We all need to conserve water and what better way than with some rain water barrels?   They make some really nice ones now that don’t just look like a barrel sitting by your house.  They even make ones that would look great on the front of my house so I could use rain water to water my plants.

Rain harvesting is really easy too.  You can put them at your downspouts or just sit them anywhere that nothing will keep the rain from going into the barrel.  I’m going to put one near my garden that has a faucet at the bottom of it so I can water my garden when it needs it.  That saves a lot, ya know?  All I did was  look up rain barrels for sale online and found  just what I want.

Speaking of plants

My father just offered to come over with his tiller and fix a little garden for me in my back yard.  How cool is that?  I was tickled.  I think I’ll plant a few herbs, tomato plants, green pepper plants and maybe some spaghetti squash plants too.  I love a garden.  Now I just hope I can find the plants or seeds I need.  I know I can still get some tomato plants but I’m not sure about any of the other.  Everyone is putting a little garden in their yards to try and save a little money this year.

I love plants

One thing I got from my grandmother is the love of plants.  I have them everywhere inside and out.  Nothing makes your plants look nicer than pretty planters.   I have several decorative planters for my weeping fig tree and other large plants I have inside.  Why put a beautiful plant in just a plain old planter?  That makes no sense to me at all.  In fact, my weeping fig tree is in a high end planter so it looks absolutely beautiful in my living room.

Even some of my outside plants are in window box planters.  I love that look.  It really dresses up the outside of your windows like curtains dress up the inside of them.  I also have two outside planters on each side of my front door with some of those little pines that they cut in a spiral shape.  They look great.  In fact, I’m thinking of getting some garden planters for my back deck.  I just might put some tomato plants in them so I can have fresh tomatoes.  Tomatoes are high in the grocery store.

I was hoping it wouldn’t rain this weekend

Out of the past 5 or 6 weekends, it has rained either Saturday or Sunday or else the whole weekend.  Last weekend was nice on Saturday and you better bet I got out and enjoyed it.  I am so sick of all of this rain.  Oh I know we really need every drop we can get because of that darn drought we were in for about 2 or 3 years but I almost to the point of building an ark!!

They’re making some good changes at work

Most of the ladies at work just kept their purses and other things they have brought with them in a drawer or cabinet at their desk.  Well it seems that someone took one of our ladies purses the other day.  We don’t think it was anyone that works here.  It was probably one of the cleaning people that come in early or a client.  Because of that, they are now installing lockers for us. Oh they’re not the ones like we had for school lockers, they’re really nice wooden lockers so they will add to the decor.

I was really hoping they wouldn’t look like when had put in a gym and now had gym lockers in the back and luckily, these are really nice.  I know that might sound a bit silly to you but like I have always said, I like the finer things in life so when they started looking for lockers for sale, I was holding my breath.  But you know what?  I do feel like my belongings are a lot safer now by putting them in a locker.
