Thursday Thirteen


Thirteen Things in my Yard that make me Happy!

Banner courtesy of Mood Swing Creations

These are not all brand new pictures (although most are very recent), but all are of things that I love in my yard. We have a small yard, but we have worked really hard to make it a homey, happy, blooming kind of place in the summer. 😆 I don’t profess to have a green thumb, but I am able to get some things to grow, and I love having other “stuff’ in my yard – bird feeders, bird baths, and what can be nicely called “yard art”. 😀

Enjoy, and thanks for stopping by!

1. I have impatiens every where I have shade, in one flower bed and a couple of pots. Here’s a hanging basket of them in a tree, that I love – it’s blooming nicely this year:

2. A new bird bath that hangs on a hook; we bought it this summer:

3. I really love watching the squirrels eat their corn from their feeder (yep, I’m weird that way!):

4. My pink moss rose is blooming well this summer:

Thirteen Movies I would like to rent this summer

Please note the reference to “I� – this means movies I want to rent and watch, not necessarily my better half. I have a whole other list for him, including several that I would rather not watch. I don’t really like movies that are overly violent (Lord of War, movies like that come to mind) or with too much bad language. I just like your basic, girlie, chick flick!

Some of these are older, and I’ve just never gotten around to renting them! In no particular order…

1. Finding Neverland
2. In Her Shoes
3. The Perfect Man
4. Walk the Line
5. Yours, Mine and Ours
6. Memoirs of a Geisha
7. Cheaper by the Dozen 2
8. The Prince & Me 2
9. Monster-in-Law
10. Rumor Has It
11. The Family Stone
12. Because of Winn-Dixie
13. Failure to Launch (released later this summer)

P.S. Thanks to Mood Swing Creations, where I snagged this banner. Lots of cute ones there 🙂

Thursday Thirteen Meme

My first time to play this meme… hope I ‘m doing it correctly!

Thirteen Things I Need to be Doing Today Instead of Blogging

1. Thursdays are bread making days, have to make the bread and let it rise

2. The kitchen stove needs cleaning… it’s very icky

3. The flowers and plants all need watering. It’s in the 90’s regularly here now, and my pots dry out quickly!

4. Actually, the grass needs watering too. I really hate setting out and moving the sprinklers around 🙂

5. I need to fill up the bird feeders while I’m outside. We have hungry birds here

6. There’s always laundry to be done (but I’d rather blog or blog surf)

7. Father’s Day gifts need to be wrapped… running out of time!

8. Must mail other Father’s Day card to the dad we won’t get to see this Sunday

9. I need to go through my coupons and pull out the ones I will need when I hit the grocery store this afternoon

10. Ah, yes, grocery shopping today

11. Then there’s the items that need to be returned to Target

12. Really should work on decluttering some closets

13. And the biggie, that I keep putting off, starting to declutter the office. It’s a huge, giant, messy nightmare. I definitely think I’ll keep putting that one off!
