Wisteria is blooming

Thought I'd better take a picture of the Wisteria blooming. This is the first year in many that they've bloomed. Almost every year we get hit with a late frost just as the flowers are forming. They are calling for a frost tonight. I hope it doesn't get them. It's kind of hard to cover with old sheets! They should be at their peak in a week or two.

What to do....I was thinking about hitting a few garage sales today but the weather is cool and misty. Plus there are TONS! It is a bit overwhelming. I think there are about 11 sub sales in Howell and Brighton! Where does one even start? So I scratched that. Maybe I'll go to a couple tomorrow instead. Then I thought maybe I should go get some flowers. That's also an overwhelming task.....I guess I'm not up to overthinking this morning. So instead I washed a couple loads of laundry, ran through the kitchen and living room and will go grocery shopping and maybe get started on some plants. I would like to put Bridal Veil hanging in the front but can't always find it. Maybe that will be my mission today.....search for Bridal Veil.

Gotta love it when there are so many things you can/should do. Nothing ends up getting done in the end. I can't wait to garage sale again but then I remember I don't have a job and I probably shouldn't.

Mother! Too overwhelmed?! I'd be thinking, "Oh man, get me out the door. I'm going ALL DAY!" and I'd be zipping to as many as I could. LOL

I'm planning to head out tomorrow. Not sure which town I'll hit. I should pop on the net and look up garage sales to see where to head out.

BTW: flowers look awesome. Nikayda took one look, "They're pretty!"
