Creepy Jenny

Hello Spring,

It's nice of you to finally grace us with your presence.

I just love it when the seasons change! For some reason, it always reminds me of God's faithfulness. Most people would agree this past winter was lengthy and harsh- I mean, we had a snow day in March. This is Mississippi, people. However, just when you think it's going to last forever and almost lost all hope of ever being warm again God shows up with springtime!

As soon as the time changed, Trey sprayed the yard to kill the weeds, put new pine straw out in the beds, and mowed the grass.

Needless to say, we have spring fever and have been itching to work in the yard.

This past weekend my in-laws came to visit. I think we visited every nursery in DeSoto county- twice. It was so much fun though. I loved being outside in the sunshine and looking at all the pretty plants!

My husband's father is a horticulturist. It is fun to watch him look at all the plants and name them. I swear he knows them all by heart. They brought us a few plants from their yard, and we bought a few.

After some deep discussion on plant size v. pot size, partial sun v. full sun, perennials v. annuals, and "Codye, are you REALLY going to water these?", we have some little baby plants at our house!

I fell in love with that lime green vine thing. It's called "creeping jenny". Funny name. For the record, the Jenny's I know aren't creepy.

Succulents are easy, right?

This is some moss and another plant from T's parents' yard. Funny story about those big black cylinders- Trey sells those. They are wheels (Correction from Trey, "They are wheel extensions") for tractors. They are starting to oxidize or whatever the scientific term is, but I love the way they look. Hoping the creepy jenny and moss grows long and drapes down them.

So the deal is if I can keep these alive, I can get a puppy.

Hope you have been enjoying the nice spring weather! 30 school days until summer vacation, but who's counting? ;)
