The Sun is out and the Dust is gone

Whew.....it's been a busy weekend.

The husband and I went to our favourite garden shop and bought two new plants. One is a spiky desert type thing for our patio, the other was labeled 'ficus hawaii', but I think it's a baby banyan tree. We cleaned about 8 months of accumulated dust off our patio, reshuffled stuff on the patio, and did a tidy-up job on all our plants. In our flat, we are up to 12 plants (most are rather large) and 4 on our patio. Being in the desert, it is so very helpful to the mental well-being to come in to a home loaded with fresh greenery that's real. And, we've made further progress on the doll house the family has been building for Munchkin #2. But, I've seen a few Star Wars action figures conducting maneuvers in and around it!

I've been super busy this week with my volunteer stuff. And, it's going to be another busy week this week. I can't believe all the meetings I'm having to go to! And, sadly, some of them feel so pointless. Sigh....at least I'm trying to do some good in this world.

Well, time to go wake the husband from his nap, grab the munchkins and head for the beach.

Peace.
