Mother's Day, Haircut, and Quilt Squares

I had a wonderful Mother's Day. Drake picked out a card that had a Mommy Dog and a puppy on it for me, he also drew a red shoe on the envelope. L gave me a pretty card and some cash to buy flowers. I have been thinking about getting perennials or bulbs to plant around the house, so this was great! We spent the day buying flowering plants, and vegetable plants for our sunroom. Drake and I planted them, and we have been watering the vegetables together. I don't remember what flowers I picked out, but I learned that there is a difference for partial shade and deep shade plants, and the type of shade can be determined based on which side of the house you are planting (N S E W). For veggies, I picked out roma tomatoes for the boys, yellow squash, and cucumbers. For outside, I remember that I picked out strawberry plants, irises, a holly bush (that will grow much larger then I would like because I misread the label), periwinkle, a flowering grass, and foxglove.





In the first picture, you can see that we finally gave Drake a haircut! He hates it so much that we wait as long as we can to do it. I am wearing a new dress that L's parents got for me, a sweater that L's grandmother knitted, and a necklace that L's Mom made for me. It's a great outfit.







In the next picture, you can see the quilt squares my husband and I made for the secret quilt. My sqare is on top and L's is on the bottom. And yes, L did the embroidery on his square; it is something he is very good at, and it surprises folks that he embroiders!







We celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary this month. It was an important mile-marker in my life because this year L and I have been together for half of my life. From now on, L and I will have spent more years together then as individuals in our lives. After the wee-one went to bed, we watched a movie and played board games together. We haven't done that in ages! It was fun.
