Resets, Upsets, And A Bit In Between

Annihilation. Reset. Upset. That is how I feel as my plans changed dramatically overnight. Everything seems to have been flipped around. After much discussion between the Mr. and I, we have decided to make the large garden on the road a vegetable garden, (the last thing I ever thought I would see in this garden) and we have decided to rid ourselves of most of the garden area in the back yard so we can have a much larger grassy area for the girls, and we will be adding evergreen trees against the fence lines as needed. I will  only have one small section of garden, and all my raised boxes in the back yard. The rest will be grass. That means we have three tree's to pull and I'm not looking forward to that work. 

This is what the future vegetable garden looked like. It's about 7 feet wide, and runs the length of the house. Part of it has flowers that grow well and take up a whole corner, so we just maintain those and the two large bushes that sit outside of two bedroom windows. This garden also has six blueberry bushes that prove to be faithful in their production of juicy berries. I see those bushes and only see pie, jam, and crepes in the summertime. This patch is a huge work in progress and I will keep you updated.  We are so close to be being done with the first shoveling. 

Coffee grounds. After bla bla bla bla about how good coffee grounds are for your garden, while making my coffee this morning I decided to empty my grounds into this pretty canister. Since I have hundreds of filters I will never use, I used some for a liner and spilled the beans. I have to do some reading as to what exactly I should be doing with them. Double bonus is that I won't be making such a mess with the grounds in my compost bucket. Score! I might throw egg shells in their if I can remember 

 An experiment. While we were shoveling the dandelion garden, of the hundred or so bulbs we pulled I put these aside with some dirt and water and will try to transplant them somewhere. Overnight the yellow one got color and is about to bloom. I threw in a red one late last night, it's still in shock. Time will tell what happens with these guys. Your suppose to dig up tulips every two years and split them. These have obviously been neglected. 

Because dammit every good morning begins with properly foamed milk! I cherish these calm moments as I have them. The Mr. and I are gearing up to do a walk through as we prepare to get another house ready for renters. This will be so different from the last house, it's well updated and has nice hard floors.  Last time it became a serious renovation, (previous blogs have before and after pictures of that house) but this will be just a remodel, thankfully! I get a serious high when I get to go into houses and fix them. Too bad my house had to be the experimental one, I'm still fixing my own mistakes. I've had such a hard time figuring out my musical taste for the day, while writing I went from BT&H, to Metallica, to Rob Zombie, to Twista to System of A Down. Too many decisions!
