As busy as yesterday was, so was today... allowing my weekend to slide through my fingers like sand, and just as quickly.  I was up in time for church, but barely, thanks to the time change.  From there a quick bite and home to enjoy the nice weather.  It had to have been in the upper 60's here today and the sun was bright.  I opened the windows in the bedroom just to get some fresh air in the house while I headed outside.

You know it's nice when I am motivated to do a little raking of the leaves that blew in after the fall cleaning, tidy up the front flower beds, and put a couple of things in the ground.  I have plenty of seeds to put down again this year, but I'll save that for later this month when I'm ready to get more mulch.  Alas, the rubber mulch I did last year just isn't sufficient.  I love the concept, but if you add more stuff then you need more mulch.  If I have to redo it every year anyhow, I may as well get regular mulch.

From there I tried to get more photos taken for the photo challenge, I'm really struggling w/ the 'planning' assignment for this week.  This led me to the back yard where I filled in more of Saffy's holes, chased the beasts around for a little while, and filled the bird feeders.  Then there were exams to be graded.... which I partially sat outside to complete.  A little time to call mom and make some dinner and here we are - ready to talk vaca with niecey-poo.  Yay!
