Over Memorial Day, my super green thumbed grandma put together a pot of flowers for me. I helped pick them out, and she arranged them. She's a genius with plants of any kind, and I'm loving my pot!
So pretty! I have NO clue what most of the plants are called, but I'm loving those yellow Dr. Suess looking ones in the back! My friends, the best part of this...??It's still ALIVE!! (Knock on wood!) I'm hoping that keeping one plant alive means I might be able to eventually handle full-on landscaping. Our current landscaping (if you can even call it that) consists of one hydrangea I planted about three years ago (that I don't even water), and two green leafy/grassy/bushy little things with purple flowers that stay green ALL YEAR LONG...that I also don't water. They have to be the hardiest little plants ever! Our landscaping also contains about 15 types of weeds, and some type of large, unruly junk bush. Gorgeous, huh?! Ugh.
I knew the landscaping was bad, but it was especially awful when a delivery girl pointed out last week that we have "the biggest dandelion she's ever seen," and that its leaves would "be totally rad in a salad." Cue dying of embarrassment!! Here is the dandelion in question.
Please note that it's probably about a foot in diameter...and is surrounded by many, many, MANY of its weedy little friends! Maybe it's time to bust out the Round-Up and start over! And maybe I do have a green thumb...it's just especially talented at weed cultivation!
I'm excited to kick off a long weekend ian couple of days...and sort of dreading my birthday next week...the big 3-0! Yikes! Who knew leaving my twenties behind would be so traumatizing? I'm hoping to blog about my party decorations...if they ever get here. Thank you, USPS!
We will be celebrating the USA on Friday in true Connell fashion...Redbox movie marathon and a ton of our favorite snacks while avoiding drunk drivers, awful traffic, and what I'm guessing will be 95% humidity. We will probably even get to save our house from catching fire from all the neighbor's fireworks that land on our roof! Joy! Maybe I'll blog a few of our favorite recipes! Wishing you all a safe and very happy 4th!!
