Flowers and Daughters

Oct 25, 2005 00:26

This evening I bought mums, pansies, and pumpkins to prettify the front of the house. Sadly, it's because the very nice couple that own the house have put it on the market. If they sell it, our lease will be honored. But when it's up next summer, who knows? Either we might not like the new owners, or they may have other plans for the property. I am mildly distressed because I don't want to move again. Oh well.

Maybe nobody will want to buy it? Naw, it's too cute.

But I offered to put the "color" in because I've been planting bulbs in the front anyway. The owners will reimburse me for the mums and pansies. (I think I may be on my own for the pumpkins, but that's OK. I like having pumpkins out there for Halloween!)

maiabee8 had gone to the nursery with me, and she unloaded the plants while I scooted cross-legged to the bathroom. Indoor plumbing, how I love it!

After emptying car and bladder, we went to Wei Hong, my favorite Chinese restaurant, where I had the pleasure of feeding my baby and sending her home with leftovers and a bag of bean buns. I love spending time with maiabee8! Even more than I love bean buns... Ummmm, bean buns...

To top off a good day, when I got home I cybershopped with josiosings. I called her, got a good idea from her about what gift to get for future-son-in-law Adam, and looked for it on the internet while she looked at the same sites. We found something good for my brother, too.

Contented sigh. I like being employed.
