On Monday after work, Kim had stopped by the garden center to pick up some fertilizer and spring flowers. Eric put down the fertilizer while Kim planted the flowers, which really added a lot of color to the front beds.
We woke up on Tuesday to a heavy rain shower, so we were glad we got the fertilizer down the night before. Unfortunately, however, the day went downhill from there. When Kim took Peanut out for his morning walk, she couldn't see the new flowers she planted. Thinking the rain had beaten them down, she walked into the garden for a closer look...and the flowers were GONE. Ugh - bunnies! At least they left the daffodils and tulips. So, she grabbed her stuff and headed to work. When she got to work, she noticed her water bottle was empty...but her bag was soaked. Guess that explains where the water went. On the bright side, the day ended with ice cream cake, so at least there was a silver lining.
Eric's mom and dad arrived on Friday night, and we enjoyed spending time with them all weekend. It's hard to believe we haven't seen each other since early December - time has surely gone by quickly! On Saturday, Eric and his dad investigated installing a new water heater for the house, but after a lot of research it looks like it was going to be a bigger pain than we were looking for in a weekend (like everything else in our house, it looks like the original install job was a bit of a free-for-all, which does not make for easy updating!).
Unfortunately, the weather was much colder this weekend than at had been all week - but at least we didn't get snow like other parts of the Midwest! Since it was so chilly, we spent most of the time in the house, chatting, watching basketball and playing cards.
