Any Given Sunday

I finally had a weekend home with no major plans! AWwwwww so I got some stuff done around here!!!
Saturday Bob and I made about 2 gallons of salsa from our Sun-gold Tomatoes. Super good stuff!!! I then went to Home Depot to get flashing and caulking to fix my gutters and roof. Well while I was there I just had to check out their clearance rack of plants! This is a great time of year to get sale perennials! And oh boy did I!!! They had half gallons for $1.50! Score!!!! I got several Black Eyed Susan's, some lavender and a few other flowers. That made my day! Oh and I did get the flashing and caulk.....

 All they needed was some water! I love how cheery they look in the garden.

Who knew a pile of dirt would be a source of entertainment for this boy for hours and hours! Ok well anyone with a 7 year old boy would know that....He has been building jumps for his bmx bike and tracks for his monster trucks out of this left over dirt pile for weeks.

Seeing that there was going to be rain in the forecast I knew I had to get cracking on my gutters....I did put it off all summer after all. I was able to caulk the gutter over my back deck, clean the gutters and some parts of the roof, put in flashing along the front garage and caulk the holes. I am feeling very proud of myself for this job. Home-ownership is awesome and very rewarding!
And it did rain on Monday and guess what....NO WATER ON MY DECK!!!! Yes!!!!! Success!!!!
