Snow in May?!?

Yes, I woke up to snow!! Not alot, but still coming down!! This is my crazy front yard. It used to be all grass besides this build up bed, which used to hold a big ol' tree thing. I can not remember the name of the tree that was in there. We took it out when we changed light poles, and this is where the rhubarb got planted. And where I am going to put strawberries. Last year I had a few plants in it and it worked just fine. Sun all day.

And I got a surprise yesterday. My oldest daughter and I were sitting in the sun the other day, when it was sunny!! And I made a comment about the bench we were sitting on, that I thought it would look good in a fire engine red, and with the sides re-painted a nice black. Then we could paint the front door to match!! ;) Well, while I was watching Seven Pounds with my other daughter (have you seen it??? What did you think?? I liked it) My daugher did this...

I think it looks really good. Is it dry yet?? I forgot to check, and with the cold, it just might still be wet!!

My hubby last year, took out all my yard, to create the 2nd driveway that in the first pic you see to the left...... He has a 5th wheel, that he can now park in the back yard... where there used to be grass and apple trees............ I just took it in stride last year, but this spring I have realized how much it does bother me. I have no yard and no deck - which means... where am I supposed to put my flowers.... where do I...... ahh suck it up buttercup, it's all going to be fine...... I hope!! So, this is my adventure today. I have a pretty bench to sit and read on, and even though it's kinda hidden, it gets great sun in the morning!!

Enjoy the sunshine - and then send it my way!! My plants are staying inside again!! One day they will get to be out in the real sun, but for now, they are safer inside!!!
