Flowerbed One Is Done. (sort of)
After two plus days of weeding, planting and bed re-shaping, and an afternoon bout of whining which got Dave to help me, the lesser of the two flowerbeds from hell is weeded, planted and mulched. Today was all about the paper weed barrier topped off with a dressing of bark dust. It's not actually finished finished, I still need to redo some of the bricks for the trim, but that's going to have to wait until after I get back. I'm off on the first of several (hopefully) summer jaunts tomorrow.
I'm driving down to Boise for my nephew's baptism. I haven't seen The Boy since mid-March. I miss him like fury. I can't imagine he even remembers who I am. My sister-in-law says he's now wearing 12 month sized clothes now. (I need to do some shopping before I go, whatever was I thinking?) He doesn't turn one until October. A big boy, our Kieran.
Many people have asked, when hearing about the purpose of this trip, if I'm going to be a godmother. No. I'm not Catholic. I don't have a problem with this arrangement, even though a number of people seem to think I should. I can't raise him in the faith he's being baptized in. I don't know the first thing about it. Well, I know the first thing about Catholicism, but not enough to be a good godmother. There are several, much better choices for the position than I would be. Besides. I'll still be his only auntie.
All this is by way of saying that I'm pretty sure I won't be posting until I get back on Tuesday. But then I'll have more nephew pictures to share with you all.
In the meantime, not pictures of my nephew, but pictures of flowers from the Infernal Beds.
