up to my knees in mulch, but oh so thankful......

I've been so busy at the SI Casa, cleaning out flowerbeds and getting mulch in them......and now I'm working on getting some flowers in there........it rained cats and dogs last night, so as long as the rain didn't wash all my mulch away, I'll be outside this morning putting in the flowers......some begonias, some white impatiens, some sage, and some moss rose. As the Mister said, it's beginning to look like someone lives here again! Somebody actually cares and such. This one's for you, honey!
Oh, and look at the sweet award Lisa from Hospitable Pursuits gave me! She's a real sweetie and has a precious heart. I tried to comment on her blog to leave a not of thanks, but for some reason, I couldn't post a comment. I'll try again later, but Lisa, please know that I am thankful for such an award. And I'm supposed to nominate ten of my fav. blogs.....well, considering that I have several more than ten on my own bloglist, that can't be hard! Or it could because ya'll are all my favorite. But I will attempt to name some of the lesser known blogs so that ya'll can find out some other great blogs that I enjoy!
Donna from Designs on 47th Street ( a Southern belle up north!)
Paula from Sweet Pea (cutie pie athlete)
Amanda from Serenity Now (great writer!)
Cathy from CathysOut JunkinAgain (beautiful ideas!)
Robin from AlabamaSlacker Mom (she's out being racey????)
Bella from Southern Somedays ( a true southern belle!)
Renee from Add More Chocolate (my IRL friend, who is oh so smart!)
Melinda from Tales from an Empty Nest ( a real sweetheart I am thankful to know)

Darlene from Darlene's Days (a girl on the go, with a good blog!)
Jill from Controlling My Chaos (sarcastic wit that keeps me rolling....)
Miz Designer from Domestic Designer (oh, so fancy home domestic engineer!)
New Day, New Season, because I'm old and can't remember her name but she is precious and you need to go on over and check her out!!!! :)

Now since you haven't anything else to do, go check these girls out, and tell them I sent you, and get to work on your nominations.....that's how the blog world rolls, and how we find out about all those great blogs that you may know about but I haven't yet found!!! Take care and I'll be back with pics of my mulch and flowers!!!

And OH MY!! I went over ten, but I love these blogs, and I can do what I want since it's my own blog, right??? I don't like to skimp...:)
to those of you who I couldn't comment on, I'll keep trying. It seems that Melinda's and Jill's blog won't let me leave a comment, so go on over and tell them I can't and to come by and grab the button, will you please???? Thanks ever so much!
