INFP girl: mmmm.... peonies!

We just finished up an awesome weekend with great weather! And it just happened to be my birthday on Saturday. :) Mom came over Saturday and we spent all day working in my gardens after a yummy lunch prepared by my awesome husband. mmmm burgers on the grill!!! We got TONS of work done in the gardens and they look GREAT. Pictures of the overall look to come - but here's some of my favorites that are currently blooming - peonies! I love love LOVE the dark pink ones and they smell heavenly.

Oh, and our dead vole count was up to 4 Saturday morning and there haven't been any spottings since. I'm REALLY hoping they've moved on.

While we were working in the yard, we sent Paul and John to go pick up a new couch for us! It's so exciting to finally get past having Paul's college fouton in our living room!!! :) We recently upgraded our tv and tv stand also - so we're doing pretty good. :) I'm not sold on the color of the couch. it's very...green... But it's in perfect condition, has a fold out bed, is very comfortable...and only cost us $50! Really, how can you beat that? So we sent our guest bed home with mom and John to store until a friend of ours is ready to pick it up for her son. The fouton and all of my crafting things went into the "guest room" (YAY!!! now I have a craft room!!!! my stuff all used to be in the dining room) And we still sleeping space for the same number of guests...though maybe not as COMFORTABLE sleeping - I'd rather have a bed than a fouton any day. But we also decided that, for as rare as stay over guests are, it's not worth having a room that we're not able to use for anything.

So here's pictures. Our old tv stand is still here to the left - we'll be getting rid of that as soon as we figure out where to put the video games that are in it...
