We planted things in our flower bed! Two bushes, some shrubs, ground cover and a meadow sage. We also put a tomato plant in a pot and some dill and sage. Because I have the black thumb of death, I didn't go all out until I see whether these take. I hope they do. I'm tired of our yard looking like a third world country.

Did you know if you bruise your butt falling down the stairs, then go run, it hurts? Because your butt jiggles. Yeah, I figured that out yesterday.
