FINALLY.
Finally it's SPRING! I mean, I understand I live in MinneSNOWta and the weather is going to be hormonal... but when you are desperately waiting for something, and it takes longer than normal, you're just about to bust at the seams.
One week it would be below zero. The next week it's in the 20's (still too cold for me.) The next week it's in the 50's. Then it drops back down to 20. Then it's 60's the week after that... It's like the weather can't make up it's mind. "Torture Ashley more? Or finally be nice?"
Somedays, I can't believe I live here. I was meant to be living in a warm-weather-all-year-'round kind of place. When we went to St.Croix, USVI, I cried because I had to get on the plane and leave there at the end of our trip. I felt like I was meant to be there!
But nothing beats Minnesota Summers and Falls. Those 2 seasons are worth living here for.
So the weatherman says it's finally going to stay warm now. Uff dah! (My mother hates that term and gives me a dirty look every time I say it. Hence, I say it more.)
So with the go-ahead, I decided to plant my bushes!! I went to (drumroll please) ALDI! They had bushes on sale for $2.99. Yep, beat that. I got 2 Lilac bushes and 2 Crimson King Rose shrubs. What an awesome deal!
(In my next 2 posts, I'll show you where and how I planted them!)
