It's not too often that I get in the shower and am truly filthy, but thanks to yardwork and flower-planting on Sunday, that's what happened. I thought I was getting some color, but it turned out to be dirt.
Good weekend spent at home - we'll be traveling next weekend, and husband will be away all week in San Diego after that, so we had to get some stuff done. On Saturday, we were expecting "weather carnage" as![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jaina put it, but all that happened was a downpour on my way home from Flemington after cleaning out the J. Crew outlet.
We went to see Iron Man and it was a lot of fun. Definitely would see again/buy on Blu-Ray. It seems that this is the Summer of Superheroes, between Iron Man, Batman, Indiana Jones, Hellboy, and the Incredible Hulk. There were many women lined up to see Sex and the City, most of them middle-aged, with a few token males in tow. Husband was patently glad he was not one of them.
The neighbors came over for an impromptu get-together, which was really nice. They're about our age, maybe a little younger, and one is a pharmacist and the other a dentist. It's nice to have someone nearby who we have a lot in common with. Most of the people in our neighborhood have children, so we don't have that particular social calling card.
Sunday we got really dirty, as mentioned previously, and I planted a hydrangea (blue), some astilbe (pink and red), a butterfly bush (purple), and some shasta daisies. Here's hoping that the deer don't destroy all of my hard work. Husband grumped a lot about it, but he pulled out a ratty shrub for me, and I have to go to the nursery sometime soon to get a replacement.
We had some exciting news from the family - my cousin is engaged to his longtime girlfriend! He must have been waiting until she graduated from P.A. school and moved back to Colorado. She's a delightful person, and I couldn't be more excited for them. It's good to have some happy news from that part of the family, because they've had some tough times, and it's not going to get better.
Thursday we're off to Canada! Let's go racing!
