Looking Up

Great news! My daughter is making great progress in the battle against the eating disorder and was moved from the inpatient program to a partial day program. This means she is able to come home for the evenings and the weekends!

Last night was her first night home. It went very well and it was a relief to have her back home smiling and enjoying herself. It’s obviously still a major struggle and will be for a long while, but things are definitely looking up!

I haven’t finished the garden chairs that we were making. We finished one of them and the other one is cut and ready to be assembled, just haven’t gotten to it yet. Hopefully, we can get that done this weekend!

I also have been spending a lot of time looking down at the ground and working on my gardens in order to spruce up the house. My first attempt and planting and designing a garden is working and my marigolds are growing like weeds right along with the weeds!



I’ve been diligently pulling them out, though and it’s looking very nice!
I also planted some perennials in front of my porch and I’m just crazy about the way it looks! I still have to put my mulch around all this and get the crazy Chicago wind to stop blowing the leaves off my flowers, but take a look!



I don’t know what’s happened to me. I normally have no luck with plants because I tend to forget about them. Not anymore!

I hope everyone enjoys their 4th of July weekends. We will be seeing parades, fireworks and visiting with family and neighbors, I think and I will be snapping out of my funk and returning to my regularly scheduled RANTastic programming.

It’s time!
