planting flowers










Today was such a beautiful day! Perfect weather.. you couldn't ask for any better. The sun was shining, the birds were singing it wasn't too hot, light breeze. So I got up took my shower and I drove to the Nursery and bought 2 flats of flowers and headed over to my mothers .

We gathered up all of her pots mixed a potion of compost, potting soil and vermiculite and proceeded to plant all the pretty flowers. We planted geraniums, impatiens, petunias ( some beautiful colors of dark crimson red, deep velvety purple, creamy white and a varigated one of hot pink and white.
We let john help ( my step-dad with Alzheimers ) he really did good today at least i know he enjoyed himself he always loved working out in the yard and doing home improvements.

The sun felt so good on my back, the fresh air, digging in the dirt. I had a really great time and I know Mom appreciated it.

Then we invited everyone over and ordered a pizza and watched the finale o American Idol.. Omg.. Kiss and Queen are you serious? How cool is that? i was blown away. I fully expected Adam to win but Kris is a good choice. Adam needs to be off doing bigger better things. It was a truely great show tonight.

Hope this finds you smiling and having a great day!

Peace, Love and Hairspray!

About Me

My photo
So this is the part where I tell you about me. Hmmm well, I'm Lori, mother of 4 grown children, wife of one very kind and patient man, fan of coffee and smoothies, reading others blogs, connecting with friends. I'm obsessed with cars, music and art. Lover of animals as you will see tons of pics of my fur babies. I live in the exciting state of Kansas. No Kansas is not all flat, just most of it! I have been a hairdresser for over 25 years, 12 of which I taught. You can usually find me texting on my phone, watching a good movie, reading a good book, diddling in something artistic whether it looks good or not,playing in the garden, doing hair, cooking,shopping online and dreaming about all the things I think I need but never buy,messing with my car or out and about just driving because it feels good. or just being out and about with my friends or family. I made the dream of Salon ownership happen and I am now a proud grandmother of Loren born July 17, 2011 :-)
