Yeah….it’s “OH NOOOOOOOOOOO” time……………monster out of the closet and the whole nine yards………the only thing saving today is that that landscape architect guy will be here at 9AM and I can spy out the window to see Mom dragging him around the back yard while he figures out what on earth we can do with it considering our budget of $1.37. Should be a challenge huh?
Alright Mom…let’s get it over with…..
A shout-out to Carol and her wacky family at Creek View Carol blog for nominating me for the Versatile Blogger Award………….I already have that one (actually I have about ten of them…teehee) but I STILL love that people find my humble blog worthy of special mention! If you don’t know this blog – PLEEEASE visit – it’s a huge hoot – Mom and I love reading it. There truly is NEVER and I mean NEVER a dull moment in Carol’s house.
What are you doing for Memorial Day weekend? Mine is packed to the gills (although I don’t have any of those to pack) with events…………….
- Saturday: My Mom and Dad are deserting me to have a cookout with the neighbors…..you know what that means……they will be gone FOREVER AND EVER and forget to bring me a kitty bag
- Sunday: Botany Test at Cat Scouts, Tabby Cat Club Indianapolis 500 Race fun
- Monday: Cat Scouts Memorial Day Picnic and my blog Memorial Day post (linking with my buds Raz and Gracie)
I know – I know what you’re thinking – this is NOT a “busy schedule”…………well for me it is………..so I’ll rest up while I can. Starting tomorrow I’ll be one busy dude………I need to be ON MY GAME so rest is essential!
Shhhhh!!!!! Quiet Please!!!!
Happy Friday!!

It is a busy weekend! The landscape guy must almost be there!!!!
LikeLike
He’s been and gone and it wasn’t pretty. HAHAHA Dad’s in shock, Mom’s knocking back a glass of wine at 1:30PM (slightly earlier than usual) and I’m staying out of their way. The landscape guy was great – told it like it is – the back yard will NEVER be green and beautiful – too much shade. If Dad would whack down some trees (which he won’t) things could be better – nothing will grow back there – SO, it’s either quit worrying about it, plant some ground cover and let it go crazy, or WHACK down trees (which ain’t gonna happen). We DO have some dead trees on the sides of the yard which Mom has been after Dad to get taken down and the guy agreed. So we’ll just have to see what happens in the tree department. Meanwhile, he’s drawing up some plans for a smallish flagstone patio which will sort of “connect” to the bottom of the stairs up to the deck. Nice little picnic area. We’ll see how that turns out.

Wine at 1:30… Dying! Landscape guys can do that to you. Our lawn guy, the good lookin’ Travis, does landscaping too and we already heard the story about taking down trees to let the sun shine on in BUT he already knew how we love our Oaks. He has seen us cry when he has had to take them down.. 😀 CH has some kind of ivy that makes me want to take the clippers and chop it all up but it does do a great job of covering all the shady spots. Our heuchera is doing good too, it seems to be very happy. Good luck on the flagstone patio. You might have to up your budget a bit, to maybe a buck forty seven! We picked out the slate tiles for The Porch and the lady came out and measured, told us about installation, moving furniture, and called us with the bid. Our eyeballs popped out but we are going ahead because it will be cool and if we decide to sell the house it will look prettier… right? Don’t tell anyBODY but we, the family of CH, have been known to drink wine at 10:30 in the morning on holidays if food is being festively served at noon!

Well Bacon, the backyard plans may be scaled down a little……or maybe more than a little……….or maybe all-together. HAHAHA Seriously though, landscaping stuff is ridiculously expensive so not sure what my parents will actually be able to afford based on what the landscape architect thought of our situation. I may have to get a full-time job to help pay for stuff!
EEEK

HAHAHA Mom had a feeling things would be like that – BUT they do believe they will let the landscape guy’s company handle building us a patio for the picnic table. We’re waiting for some drawings AND estimates.
