Five Things on a Friday – 10/18/24

At this point the sink always looks much better, but even if you think it’s much shinier than before, I guarantee that there’s still shining to be done!.

Soon I’ll be fully prepared and maybe even a little excited to see how well we do when the first power outage hits this year.Will you be joining me in being prepared?Now, we’re no expert gardeners yet, but for the last 8 years or so, we’ve definitely been interested in learning all we can.

The great thing about gardening is that we’ll continue to learn more and more every year.One of the things I learned about myself when we first moved in here is that I really hate that landscaping fabric used to keep the weeds down.We had it in all of our garden beds around the house and we’ve been slowly getting rid of it, little by little every year.

Of course, that leads to more weeds, but I feel like it’s really important for me to be able to play around and add a new plant into our gardens whenever the fancy strikes and with the fabric, that’s just really difficult..So last year we took the fabric out of this front garden bed, right beside the driveway, and we were left with this.. We also removed some shrubs that we didn’t like.

We were left with quite a few plants, but also a lot of empty spaces and a lot of weeds.

Chris poked in this random hummingbird garden ornament that he found in the garage and that just added to the sad-looking mess.Pick your favorite or use all three!.
