A weeding kinda day

Today was an overcast day. Perfect for weeding, but also perfect for every single type of bug that bites to come along and enjoy a little piece of me.

This is a memorial garden my girls and I made in honour of  my MIL, many years ago.

It desperately needed weeding... Since this is the first time I was able to get to it this year.

All nice and weeded :)

I have inherited my moms brown thumb and I don't know to much about plants. To prove this I almost pulled out some plants from last year.

Luckily I was smart enough to leave the plant sticks in the ground from last year to remind me :) 

I bought these markers for my girls it put in the memory garden. They have lasted 11 yrs. I just have to rewrite their names on them every few years.

Later on I decided to tackle this flower bed as well. Every year they all start out like this....so full of weeds, grass and pine needles.

Again, luckily, I left the plant markers in with the plants. 

I think I may have come up with a great idea to identify my plants. 

I took a water bottle, cut it in strips and then wrap it around the plant and stick the edges in the dirt..

I know this plant doesn't look to healthy. 

Told you... Grime Reaper of plants.

After all the weeding was done Heather and I went for a nice quad ride:)

I checked on our baby robins and they have left the nest.

See what happens when we miss a weekend.

But I checked over at my FILs and he has a mama robin over there.

I hope you are all enjoying your weekend.
