I love my job and the hilarious things kids say. One of my favorite sayings, taken from an 8-year-old fella last year is "Oh sweet honey and the bee!"
You can use it two ways.
1. "OH sweet honey and the bee!" - meaning- "good grief" or "that's ridiculous!" or "UGH!"
2. "Ohhhh sweet honey and the bee!" -meaning- "YAY!" or "Finally!" or "hip-hip-hooray!"
This week I have been saying "Ohhhhh sweet honey and the bee" because we are got our landscaping done!! I am SO excited about it finally being completed, it was a crazy project!
We have been in our house for a year and three months. We have quite a large area that has needed serious help. It's so bad, that I mowed the flower beds because there was so much grass growing in them! It's a bit embarrassing, but we've had lots of parties, get togethers, a baby shower, and family and friends in and out of here anyway! If your friends can't love you with bad landscaping, well then, they aren't really friends! :)
To begin our landscaping journey we needed a french drain, and that was completed a couple of weeks ago. Friday afternoon a dump truck brought a load of top soil, Nate Lopez (our landscape architect and friend) brought a trailer full of plants, trees, bushes, and my brother picked up a ton of landscaping rocks.
I took some before pictures:
notice the extra lovely strip of dirt from digging the french drain line
sad looking, pretty much non-existant flower beds
so here we go......
landscaping under the full moon!
working hard!
my red bud tree going in! yay!
progress....
i have "butterfly bushes" and we had tons of butterflies immediately, i love them!
much better!
my new hobby now is watering the flowers, i feel like my mother. " I gotta go out and water my plants...." :)
Doing landscaping in mid-July wasn't the smartest thing ever, but it's done, so we are happy!
