So What DO my neighbors think???!!
Well, I had to write about this because I think it is pretty funny and actually quite ridiculous that I even gave it any thought. As I wrote before we are working on the front of our house and we basically started all over from scratch. So today I decided it was a wonderful day to pull out 4 huge bushes and then start planting a minimum of 20 plants(that was just to get started). Bren and Faith want a butterfly garden so that involves lots of different plants when you have a 5 and 7 year old planning it!!! Anyways, as I am outside today my nieghbors are out, landscape guys are out working on yards and more than once I caught a few people staring at what I was doing. At first I was very paranoid thinking, "oh no, am I going to get into trouble with the Homeowners Assoc. for not getting approval or am I making a fool out of myself." I gave this a little thought and then one of my other neighbors came out, I was taking a little break, cleaning up and sweeping off the walk. She just stared at me, I said hello and she said Hi (real fast and short) and turned around. I thought about it again, then I took a good look at myself in the front door. OH BOY!!!! I looked so ridiculous! I wish I had a picture to show you all. I realized just then what I had thrown on to work in the yard, picture this---brown cowboy boots(keeps the feet cleaner and protects my toes and body if I find a snake!), short tan colored shorts(that are a little snug) a brown t-shirt and a mud streaked face and arms to go along with it. Not mention my hair was wild and crazy looking from the wind. I am sure my neighbors were watching me thinking I had certainly lost my mind!! I guess I would think the same thing. Oh well, I don't care to much, it is my yard and I was comfortable for the most part(minus the snug shorts!) Good thing they did not see my socks, one was navy blue and one was light blue, I am sure they would have fun looking at me then!! What's the sense in looking nice when your just going to get dirty?!?! Take care ya'll!

LOL! I love it! I totally agree. I have no one to impress when I'm working outside :)
I can just see you....That was so funny. Your house, your yard right. Love the different color socks. Girl you'd think you were from Missouri. Good luck with all your planting.

I am a piece of work with my work clothes. Good idea about the boots because I have found two snakes this week . . . I HATE snakes. Take pictures of your gardening!
When I used to mow our lawn in Georgia (in the middle of the southern summer) I would come back in the house and catch myself in the mirror...my hair and clothing would always be DRENCHED in sweat and my hair looked like I had been chasing stray voltage...terrible!
