Happy Memorial Day Weekend Everyone and Thank You to our Veterans Past and Present!!!

Hi Everyone!!!  Sorry I have been slacking with the reviews and giveaways but I will make up for it by working to get a lot on this coming week.  I have some great stuff coming up so please be patient with me.  I have been very busy this weekend enjoying family and doing a lot of yard work.  We have so many projects going on here and the threat of rain is putting quite the damper on our outdoor painting and staining projects.  This afternoon I went and picked up all the plants for the garden.  Multiple kinds of tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, snap peas, green beans, cucumbers, zucchini, yellow squash, pumpkins, butternut squash, Italian parsley, sweet basil, cilantro, rosemary, Greek oregano, lots of perennials to add to our flower beds, seeds for radishes, and I think that is about it.  I have tons of spearmint, peppermint and lemon balm as they come up every year and lemon balm is impossible to get rid of and spreads like crazy.  Hoping to get everything planted tomorrow if the weather cooperates.

I love going into the garden every day and seeing everything growing and showing the little ones how are vegetables grow.  They came with me tonight and it was so cute because they each had to have a cart and they wanted to help with everything.  Ethan was so cute helping me load all the plants and trays in the car and when we got home in the dark, he was so cute unloading the car with the older boys and making sure all the little plants were safely on the deck until we can plant them.  Luke had to tell everyone he had flowers and plants for Mommy and comment on their carts filled with plants and flowers.

 

I hope you are all enjoying the weekend and the unofficial start of summer.  Remember to take some time and remember the meaning of this holiday weekend.  God Bless all our troops and keep them safe, thank you to all our veterans, and thank you to the veterans who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.  Happy Memorial Day from Mommy Ramblings!!!
