Nothing But Hard Work.

So, today was supposed to be all about fixing the yard.
I must say it was pretty productive, considering the rain. We planted a new tree, a "honeylocust". I'm not so in the know when it comes to trees, so if you know anything about this particular tree, please share the wealth. Anways, it's supposed to put off a lot of shade, and is fast growing. I also planted a lot more flowers. I didn't get as much work done in the garden as I would have liked to, but I'm working on it. I have a lot more work to do tomorrow, I'm praying the rain stays away. I have to watch my niece Hayley Jo tomorrow as well. I'm so putting her to work! haha.

And, I just have to note that gardening is very expensive. But, for some reason, I can't stop. haha. It seems cliche, but seriously when tending to my plants & flowers, I feel so at peace. It relaxes me incredibly. I love it.

I sprinkled my garden with Sevin Dust today, and immediatley it took me back to being in my papaw's huge garden. I remember the smell of that stuff like I was just sneaking in his garden to find that perfect tomato yesterday! While spreading the white powder from plant ot plant, I couldn't help but wonder if he felt the same way while in his garden, like nothing else is going on in the world, this moment is the most important, and there is nothing else I could be doing with half as much importance. I think that's why I love to garden so much. Because he did and it brings me that much closer to him, and keeps his memory vivid. I hope I'm doing him proud. I know I have a lot to learn when it comes to gardening, but I'm willing to learn. (I'll be posting pics soon, don't worry!)

In other parts of my life, I'm supposed to be hearing about a job tomorrow or Tuesday. Let's only hope it's tomorrow! The sooner the better right? Ryan has been being very protective the past couple of days. It's kinda odd, because he's usually such a "whatever" kind of guy. But, he wouldn't let me take a simple trip to Wal-Mart last night..wait, I'm not saying he WOULDNT let me, but I could tell he really didn't want me to go alone. He told me that a million times, but I could tell by his eyes he really didn't like the idea of me driving to Eastgate so late, and by myself, so I didn't go. He also doesn't want me to go to Fairfield on Tuesday for a "job interview"...if you only knew the weird and shady story behind that you'd probably understand why. I don't even want to go, there's something fishy going on there. I'll be dropping a resume off at CASA tomorrow, that would be an exciting job, I couldn't ask for somewhere better to work! It's something I'm really passionate about, helping kids I mean. Let's hope for that to pan out. I sold the amp out of my car today, haha..yeahhh..a little extra cash. =) I'm still debating on whether or not to chop my hair off, I'm just not sure.

My life is pretty lame & ordinary, but it's mine..and I love it.
I'll update tomorrow.
Good night all!
