Home and Garden Show

March 10, 2012
We should have stayed home today and worked in the yard. Not just because the weather was absolutely AMAZING and PERFECT for being outside, but because I have now broken commandment #10. Thou shalt not covet.

While the Home and Garden Show for some may bring a wealth of ideas, it makes me sin. I want everything I can't have. Like the pergola we've been saying we'll "do this summer" for years. Or these cool planter boxes. Or the old-stone sitting wall. Or a pond. Or pondless rock fountains. Or cool yard decorations. Or the soft water softener we really need. Or the interior design experts I wish could come fix my bedroom painting disaster. Or the mammoth playground our kids want. Or the shed to keep Jeff's "man" toys in. Or gorgeous flower beds covered in flat stepping stones and moss growing in between them.

I entered every free drawing they had. And I don't care one bit if I'm spammed with crap in my email or mailbox for life if I can just win that pergola.....

See, I told you we should have stayed home.
