Playing in the Dirt
I'm in the process of making my house a little more presentable, so that I can either sell it or rent it out. Today, I planted flowers for the first time since I moved in. I bought some as plants, and others I planted seeds. I planted Petunias, Alyssum, Morning Glories, and Phlox. It will be interesting to see how it all turns out, since I am totally new to the whole flower garden thing. I also spent some time working on the lawn, but it seems that I'm always fighting a losing battle with my lawn. I just hope that it looks somewhat presentable by mid-summer.
I have a long drive ahead of me tomorrow, as I'm taking my black Civic down to DC. The car has a CD player instead of a tape deck, so I'm stuck with the lousy Belkin FM transmitter to listen to my iPod. Hopefully, I'll be able to find some good radio stations on the drive instead.

Good luck with the flower garden -- my was quickly overrun by the grass!
If my lawn gets healthy enough to overrun my flower garden, I will consider that a happy problem. Right now, my lawn is just barely existing. I had grubs last year, and they munched away the roots of my grass. This year, I had a contractor come out and fertilize, aerrate, overseed, and treat for grubs. I also put down some patch mix in some bare spots. So hopefully the lawn will go somewhere ... just in time for me to move.
