Saturdays = Good

So we spent most of the morning clearing out a few dead bushes and old growth on things that needed to be pruned.  Which was actually alot of fun.  We now have a large pile of nice tinder under our Magnolia tree that we need to burn at some point... which should also be fun.

Now that we cleared out space, we can start planning where we can put more plants.  Though I'm still waiting to see if the bushes that did make it through the really dry summer last year are going to flower this year or not, we shall see.  I'm hoping they do, because they looked really awesome in the photos I saw of them.

I think we will be planting more things in the next few weeks!  Beans, Tomatoes, and whatever else had to wait till later, I forget off the top of my head.  Possibly the cucumbers as well.... though we're still figuring out where the best place in the yard is for some of the plants, because of all the trees we have.  I'm thinking we may have quite a few potted plants that we move, especially the tomatoes.

So today in Fondren (the neighborhood we live in) it was Festival day, with a parade called Zippidy Doo Da... it was quite interesting.  Not the parade ( I couldn't go I was at school) but the whole thing in general.  Luke and I wondered around and looked at all the stalls, there were some nice things, mostly it was companies in the area that set up tents.  Got a milk shake, and just had fun walking around.  Just another reason we enjoy living in Fondren... there are lots of random things that take place that are just fun to be a part of.

And for now that'll be all.  Oh!  For those of you who don't know about the Belhaven Theatre department blog, you should look at that as well.  It has information on what shows we are doing, and photos of shows we've completed, and alot of interesting articles to read.  http://blogs.belhaven.edu/theatre/ .  Just another way of seeing whats going on in my world of Belhaven Theatre.

Getting Started

Since I'm not the greatest at keeping up with everyone from up North, I thought it might be time that I started up some kind of blog.  I used to do this back in college, and wasn't very good at posting... so we'll see if I've gotten any better!

Our yard is almost in full bloom at this point.  The bushes in our front bed are still working on getting flowers out, but all along the sides of our house and the back bushes are out in full force.  We have planted one of our vegetable beds, now just waiting for them to come up so I can weed, I don't want to disturb the seeds or accidentally pull the wrong things out.  Still planning on planting more, but the other things are supposed to go in a little later.

There is basically 1 month left to the semester!  Which is crazy that it has gone by this fast.  Luke is all set for his classes in the fall, again going to be a busy semester but hopefully another good one.

This summer is starting to fill up, I will be running the Summer Theatre Camp that they hold here at Belhaven, which should be alot of fun.  Lots of extra work right now though, so thats keeping me more busy.  Luke is starting to apply for jobs that he would be able to keep through school, so prayers for that would be appreciated.  And we are also trying to figure out if we will be coming up North at all this summer, that is still in the works.

And that is all for now because I have more phone calls to make.
