Yes, I Am Alive!

Okay, so I have dropped off the face of the earth - and quite literally feel like I have. These past few weeks have seemingly been quite busy - although when I look back to remember what I've done, I can't really pin down any one great accomplishment!!

I did go to the home show this past weekend. It was pretty good. Hubby and I were addicted to the home show back in Alberta and never missed them - even though we never had the money or opportunity to put any of the people in the booths to work!

But, we did go and talked it up with a few landscaping companies because boy oh boy does our yard need some work!! I want to put a hedge border type thing in because fences aren't really liked much - and I'm not sure that I want one - that might change in a few months though - who knows. And I want a big freakin' tree that has red blooms or leaves - there are these BEAUTIFUL trees in Grande Prairie in Swanavon (older part of town) that I want here - so I need to find out what they are and see if they'll live here alright...if so, I'm getting me one!

And then I wanna put in some perennials and a few annuals ... simple, non-labour intensive, can grow without me, type plants - because I am not good at the gardening thing - I get lazy and as much as I don't want to be lazy about it, I need to be realistic and know that by July I'm not gonna want to be breaking my back doing wierd things to the plants.

Anyway, that's my quick blurby for now - will put a couple posts in over the next week or so...things are getting back to normal (although I'm not too sure what normal is...usually is good though!!).
