the previous owners of my house had beautiful flower gardens and landscaping. i had great intentions of keeping it up...but i haven't touched it. i could say that with the new baby and new house and both jobs i just don't have time, but i have time. the truth is i'm scared to touch it. i'm scared to pull something i think is a weed, only to find out it was a rose bush. beyond that though...confession time coming...i'm scared of the snake. my friend melissa found a snake in my backyard, and even though she assured me that it was more scared of me than i it, i don't believe her. the only people that say that are people who aren't scared of snakes. when i saw that snake, i froze up and i got that funny buzzing, heart pumping feeling in my head.
so in my mind if i go to weed my gardens, a snake is going to leap out of hiding behind the peonies and attack my face. or worse, crawl up my arm and wrap himself around it. i'm sure its all because of the curse...i'm only being biblical.

I felt the same way about my garden! Luckily Chey came over and saved me, at least the vegetable garden. My flower garden is still pretty hopeless. But I don't have a baby or a job (well, now I do, but for the last three months I didn't) so you do have an excuse!
However, we are both in luck. Kyle's parents got me this gardening book, an encyclopedia of flowers, and it tells you everything. We will have to go through it.
haha ... I just got a mental image of a snake leaping out (even though it doesn't have legs) and biting your face.
I'm sorry to say I laughed.

Hmmm,
with all the work you do (what with child and coffe and your baby) you must have some pretty advanced genes in order to have time to blog...
so with all these advanced genes swirling around your kid, im wondering when Jaden will get his own blog?
this had nothing to do with snakes

I would like nothing better than to come up for a day and weed your flower garden - would be much more fun than building fences. Mindy and I weeded flowers when we were visiting them - fun. Of course, maybe I should go outside and weed my own flowers. HUGS
