The Gardening Games are On.
 

       It's that time of year ladies and gents, planting time. We all fear it, and well we should. The complete reconstruction of last years gardens. You thought you were done with it last year, but noooo! Now we have to do it all over again. However,unlike you guys, this is not my case. My family never really had an "official" garden. What we did have was a small patch of hard ground that had wildflowers, corn, and trees (all thanks to birds and squirrels) growing it it untamed. But no more! This year my family's going all out, complete demo derby on that thing. We're tearing up trees, weeding and turning over the soil. Plus we're extending it so it's actually garden size. We're adding more floweres and even a reading spot. Not to mention we're putting in a path through it. So when it eventually gets done it'll be quite the sight. But I want to give special thanks to my mother and her OCD. As well as my father who faught with a terrible pine to move the bird bath. on a side note,  I want to inform the audience that the wounds were not fatal, much as he would claim otherwise. And finally a word to my sister if she would read this by chance. YOU ARE LAZY! Everyone else was digging, putting our backs into it and you were just there watching us and EATING! For shame sis. Just wow.  Anyways, back to the main thing. If you guys haven't started planting, now is the time. It'll be summer before you know it, so get off your computer or tablet and hop to it.

Graduation scare

Graduation is coming up. Yeah! And that means open house parties. Problem is, my house looks, well...UGLY! Both my front and garage doors are worn and faded. Not to mention the paint is peeling off both of them. My house is messy constantly. We have animals so their partially responsible. And my backyard looks like crap. There are weeds all over the place. And the semi-garden we actually have is way dead. What's funny is that we are constantly busy with something so we haven't had time to fix any of this.  What's worse though, is that my grandparents and my uncles from Illinois are coming down for the party. I don't really care for most of my relatives. Sure their nice. Well, most of them anyways. But all my uncles on my dad's side are all either doctors or Lawyers. So they all have really big houses and nice things. I'm wondering what they're going to think of our house? Either way, my family and I still have to get a lot done in the time remaining. Does anyone know where I can rent a power washer?
