diaries of water the PLANTS...

THE END!

They are back home... and safe and sound with the wonderful planting loving mom

Here are the after pictures

enjoying the sun

here they are leaving the office

plant one:  if you can see most of the yellow leaves were turning back to green, thanks to the sunlight

plant two: there was change BUT only good change...it soooo close to be blooming wooott wooottt I didn't kill it and my mom can see its beautiful flowers soon.  this plant makes the whole thing worth it [kinda, i guess haha] success!

plant three: the same...the flowers were dying but the suspected since it was just out of bloom

plant four: still looks kinda dead like it did when it was brought to me

overall happy to have this experience over BUT i have to say that I did learn some things!

if you EVER need someone to watch and water your plants I WOULD BE SO HAPPY TO...recommend that you NOT ask me and ask my mom instead :)

Here is a wrap.

THE official END!

3.22...not a race [number]

It is a journey!! 

Haha. Couldn't resist that line

Well we are 6 months in. So we had a special date night

I made stuffed chicken and chocolate over load dessert

It was good....if I may say so

Then I feel asleep on the couch while watching tv ... Typical :) 

Happy 6 months to the love

your are my sunshine

and you make me happy

thank you for being on our vacation

Florida vacation 2013 is a wrap.

what a great time away!

there was sun.  there was BURNING = long sleeve shirt day

there was a little rain...nothing to hold us back, can you say outlets and HUGE walmart

there was napping. reading. walking. biking. talking. swimming

eating. CANDY. McDonalds. laughing. relaxing. and even a cheesy FL souvenir shop

lots of fun was had!

didnt want to see it go but all good things must come to an end.

here is the photos review

First day on vacation...playing in the park

and the beach

Followed by a lovely dinner out

 The whole family

He has the same love for ICE CREAM as his auntie!

a day of biking around the island

a morning of fishing

girls rule...I caught the most BUT not one was big enough to keep

 one of the non keepers

dad caught a shark! and with J...they caught enough for dinner

lunch with beautiful flowers to look at

a little relaxing and swimming.  the ocean was FREEZING

the pool was much better

one day had to read in the bushes..a little windy!

out on our last walk...love this view

 and our last dinner

thanks again to my parentals for planning another successful Florida vacation!

bring the sun back when you come home.  please and thank you!

Is that a hot fudge sundae!?!

Walk to McDonald's on st. Pattys day AND

What do they say..I am sorry we do not have any shamrock shakes!

I should have known everyone wearing green was eating a hot fudge sundae. 

So I followed suit and celebrated this holiday with my dad eating a hot fudge sundae. Ha! 

I guess another 365 days until I get one! 

ready. set.....

time to JET.

I am ready to jet to FL today to see the my parents and brother and sister in law and Mr. Peanut butter cup!

and get a shamrock shake with my dad! 

and hopefully read a lot

and see the sunshine

READY. SET.

 time to BLOOM

the plants are still living and ready show their flowers...at least the third plant over seems like it will soon

[and proof picture to show my mom today that her babies are still in safe hands! haha]

so READY.SET.GO time!

$10 parking..NOW

nothing like sitting at Red Ball with B

talking

talking and more talking

bc that is what we do best

then we realize we have 19 minutes before the play starts

so we hurry and pay

fly downtown

realize there was NO parking

eventually found the last $10 SPOT!  throw it in reverse and take it!

RAN literary ran to Civic and made it just in time for Fiddler on the Roof

fun night out with B!

always an experience!

diaries of water the plants..cont

fourth friday in a row photo time

NOW After consulting the plant guru I was told that there needs to be more sun....well MI pulled through and granted us some beautiful days this week

so being a good babysitter as I am..haha I have been moving them to the window each day

see how happy they are to see the sun light

I do not feel I need to go through each plant this week because

DRUM ROLL please!

they are all STILL alive and all STILL pretty much look the same!!

Victory for another week!

holding on to that now

here's to only 2 weeks 4 days 7 hrs and 9 seconds left!!!

like a rock

is not only a Bob Seger song but also BOB SEGER!

He is good and can sing...and had a TON of energy last night at the his concert

fist pumps to the air, running, singing

you name it, he did it

60 something year old...

I salute you Bob, like a rock!

calling all hobos

to the 4421

best way to pull the recycling out at my parents when the driveway has not been plowed for over two weeks...yes of course hold on with the back hatch open while your husband drives out

this was not my first rodeo, can recall another time through the NE side with the BOGO...that time it was a grill!

Yup I think that officially makes me a hobo!

diaries of water the plants CONT...

third Friday in a row left in my care.

drum roll please

after consulting with the plant guru...who suggested not watering so much [which now I am on a monday, thursday schedule each week]

AND

after studying last week picture I think we are pretty much the same!

plant one: TOTALLY the same... lots of flower still!!  major air fists pump the air

plant two: looking a little more wrinkling in person, still dead looking..hmm

plant three: still two of the three buds!  and a little yellow...but no more than last week, small victory

plant four:  again still a little yellowing in the leaves...hmm

the plant guru also suggested sun light....welllll what can i say, we live in MI.  

that is not something I can be held responsible for.

now if only we can keep these results going

so 3 weeks...5 days.....55 min left!!!
