Happy 4th of July weekend!

So, to the 2 people that read my blog, I'd love to say I hope you have a fabulously fun 4th of July weekend.  Any big plans?

I have been invited to quite a few picnic/cookout events, but I gotta tell you.  All I really want to do is get my house cleaned for next weekend's cookout and maybe get some yard work done.  Being a homeowner can sometimes suck.  When I had my condo, at least I never really had to do any real outdoor work.  I've got weeds to pull and I'm sure the grass will need to be mowed before the weekend is up. 

So, I decided I'd like to learn to plant a garden on the side of my house.  I've never really been good at growing plants in or outdoors, but I'd like to give it a try after my cookout.  I wonder what will grow this late in the summer season.  Think about it...being able to walk outside and grab some fresh veggies and cook them immediately after being picked.  Yumm!!!  I bet I could at least plant some herbs and tomatoes.  How much do those topsy turvy things cost?  Do they work?

Well, enough rambling for now.  Be safe.  Don't drink and drive or shoot off fireworks.  Here's to a fun and blood-free holiday weekend!
