Construction

For the past two hours, my house has been shaking like a leaf every time this stupid paving machine comes around. I could leave the house if I wanted to walk somewhere, but I am too busy at home...drinking coffee and making bread...and rice. ha. It is SO annoying and loud! But I guess I will be thankful when we have a nice new street to drive/walk/play on.



On a side note, doesn't my fuschia look nice?? I have 4 of them across my porch...one has already died and I have done NOTHING different. So, I took it down and cut it up to see if it might come back. I do not have high hopes for it. Not sure if I have mentioned before, but I have also killed my dahlias (I think they were dahlias) that were planted by the street. Ok, I think the snow killed them...I am taking it very personally though. When i thought Spring was starting a few months back, Matt and I planted some bulbs. Of what, I have no clue. We looked at them the other day, and I think I planted them upside down...maybe I don't have a green thumb after all??
