Awwww

Did you know flowers could drown?  I knew they could drown in the pot, but in the ground?  We've had record rainfall for April, but I never thought it would kill my blooming plants.  Last fall, my daughter and I replanted the flower bed with tulip, daffodil, and hyacinth bulbs after some animals munched on my old ones.   This year they came up great and started to blossom...until April showers set in.  Ground-soaking rains have flooded my driveway, and consequently the runoff killed my fledgling plants.  Did it kill them for good or for the time being?  I don't have the answer to that.  I do know the Mother Nature won't give us our next dry day until Thursday, so all I can do is wait.

The Power Of Doing™

The Home Depot offers a little-known but great DIY class for kids the first Saturday of every month. They provide a kit, the tools needed, and the work area; you provide the kids and parental supervision. They build various projects, from toy cars to window boxes. And if you sign up but can't attend, they will give you a kit you can put together at home. Today my kids and I took advantage of the rainy day and built these plastic bag holders (I went green and got a bunch of reusable bags, but we keep a few plastic bags around). This pic is of their finished projects. Not bad, huh? :)
