This past weekend was a hoot. My mom and I had a carport sale I say I but really it was all her. She did most of the work while I was running around with kids. I have to say it turned out really well and I am most grateful. The city had an event for Arbor Day at the local park . My daughter and I went for a bit and I bought a couple of plants that they had for sale and we walked around a bit just checking stuff out. One of the booths that was set up was a rehabilitation center for wild animals and they had a large owl with them to show. The owl had been injured and lost a wing so it could never be released back into the wild.

What a gorgeous creature. The owl really did not like it when the helicopter started to take off.

Yesterday was a lazy day of sorts. Gary didn't get in till early in the morning Sunday but I got up early Sunday and went to Walmart for dirt and tomato plants. I have this old wash tub that I got from an estate sale so I poked a couple of holes at the bottom and filled it with dirt. I planted 2 tomato plants and 2 pepper plants along with some small marigolds. Then I also have an old coal bucket that I put petunia's in. So then I also bought a couple of basil plants, chives, and more marigolds so I took a plastic tub and put holes in the bottom, filled it with dirt and planted them also. After that I sat on my back porch and ate breakfast. It was so nice just to sit back there with the dogs with a nice breeze blowing thru. So after all the yard work I went in and showered, ate some lunch and did some laundry. Tori and I went back in the bedroom to watch TV. So I finished the baby blanket for her teacher and worked on my socks. She fell asleep and took a great nap. I looked over and Dakota had stretched out on the chair next to the bed and was just snoozing away. I couldn't help myself I had to take a picture of him.

Is that not pitiful or what? I guess I should have been snoozing as well.
