Mother's Day, Plants and Painting...

Wanted to show off my Mother's Day cards! My daughter and some of the girls had a whole art project going.
The words were heartfelt and made the day bright. Lots of hugs and well wishes from the boys and my heart was lifted. I am so grateful for these sweet children that I have the privilege to live near in my motorhome. I took the cards down today to set aside with the other things that I save. Didn't get a whole lot done this week, but after painting the walls the other day, I got to thinking that I probably should paint the underside of the roof parts too. So after putting all the pieces in place, I marked the areas with a pencil so I would know where to end the Suede color paint.
This is the first coat and I thought I might as well put a second coat on all the trim pieces too.
Also as proof that I am my own worst enemy sometimes, I was trying to shut the window shade and the Summerhouse lurched and I snapped loose some of the front bumper...sigh. Looks like I will need to fix that too.
And on a different note, I have been working on putting tomato plants in pots and putting up a new hummingbird feeder. I found a cute little hanging pot of petunias at Walmart (only 5 bucks) and now I have a whole little garden going on the side of the motorhome.
We still need more dirt there and have to have it smoothed and seeded, but for now I am enjoying my little plants. The weather was glorious here today...I hope that you were able to spend some time in the fresh air and dig in the dirt. Oh, I bought a big bag of organic potting soil and was diving in with both hands to fill the pots for the tomatoes. I was pretty dirty and while I rested after, I read the back of the empty bag....would you believe there was bat guano in it?! I'm sure it was sterilized, but I washed my hands REAL good after! LOL! Thanks for stopping by!

  1. You are indeed so fortunate to have all the grandkids close at hand! I bet they took great pride in making cards for grandma! I love your little garden slice! It's so much fun to get your hands into the dirt, until the moment you realize what's in in, lol!
