Week 22 of 52

Wow hard to believe we're already into the 22nd week of the year…….where has the time gone!!
Thanks God it's Monday and we get the chance to start a new week!

Heres what I was doing most of last week……in between all the rain we had and my failed equipment!!

This is one of the new wash tubs that I brought home from Austin…….I had to cut out the center….that's where the failed equipment came in……I have the Dremel Saw Max and LOVE it until I tried to change the blade from an all purpose to a metal blade….it just couldn't be done!!
Sooo I cut and cut with the AP blade…..then tried to get my husband to see if he could get the blade changed…..he couldn't either!  Soooo the wonderful man he is…..he took it to HD to see if they could……well of course they couldn't do it with the allan wrench that the company provided…..he got out some socket wrenches and ALMOST couldn't do it with that……but FINALLY it released and the guys were able to change the blade……zoo what was taking me HOURS to do I got done in less than an hour……BUT totally used up the whole metal blade in cutting two center post out of these new wash tubs……WELL WORTH IT…….check them out!!

After a new coat of paint on the old tubs….and then new paint on the new tubs

Don't you just LOVE the color!!  Three of the 4 tubs now have beautiful Mexican Lime trees in them…..just waiting for the 4th to be put in this coming weekend AFTER hubby gets back from Austin (that's where we had to get them……no one has them up here in the DFW area)

We lost our three tree this past winter……my fault…..I didn't move them into the garage…..WON'T make that mistake again!  Everything we did move into the garage during the freeze.. made it, including the bougainvillea and boston ferns ……sooo lesson learned, while living up in the DFW area…..move tropical plants into the garage!

It was a short week for me……focused on the back yard and the new plants that I got, refreshed,  repainted and looking good….. just in time for our high 90 degree weather!

Hope you all have had a good week and look forward to sharing some of my new adventures that are coming up this week……new class at the Craft Guild of Dallas and I'm giving PMC another try this week as well…….oh and my favorite, water aerobics is starting this week as well…..here's to the water and some great exercise!!

It's the beginning of summer, so go out and enjoy it ……create create and then create some more!

Til next week!
