the monkey...used to have a swing...lost it long ago...
in the last storm he lost his head and hand...
but had to save him...reminds me of Doug...I took a short nap in the recliner and woke up stiff and sore...eating ice cream now...have a good day!
the rest of the morning...
doofy mesmerized by the birds...
Craig's view of the fence sections...
put up 2 sections this morning...
this is all we are going to put in the side yard...
we still have room to mow on the backside...
then we decided to do the deck...
I can't wait for Christmas now...with garland and lights...
Craig worked hard getting it all put up...it's lunch time and only 73 outside...I'm doing lunch and a nap...I was out cutting branches at 6:30 this morning...it was in the low 60's then...love this weather...wish it was all year long!

the story behind this space...
...many years ago, I heard someone speak on whether people ever came back from the grave to check things out here, and someone wiser and older than me said that he thought that they did and the last place they would go is the cemetery...that they would be checking in on their loved ones that were left behind...and that they may not see the flowers we leave on the gravestones, but they would see a memorial in our homes...so...my kids were still young and at home and could be very rowdy and noisy...so I started working on this area...you see...from there, they can see everything we are doing...and it's a little more peaceful out there...so this is our mothers' garden...and even though there is no stone...we always think of them when we look at it...and it's strictly theirs...we just maintain it and leave it for them...
Another cooler day...
busy as a bee...
in the morning light...
another junque rescue...
the suns on it's way up...got a few things to get done today...

My favorite place to be today...
the breeze is good and the birds are singing...
we have got some repair work to do on the fence in places...
moved the whicker chair here and almost fell asleep in it...
this would be a good place for an old metal bed...
just an idea of what the fence will be like when we get it all up...it's a good day for so many things. so whatever you picked to do...hope you enjoyed every minute of it...
It's a wonderful day...
Craig's flower bed with added gazebo pieces...
rose moss...
his day lily...
corn and beans...
green beans in 2 weeks with all the blooms...
worked here some...
Bebe playing dead...
just having fun...
corn is coming up fast...
can you see the breeze???
I had Craig get the other whicker chair out of the neighbor's trash this morning...it's a little crooked but it might straighten up...
we weeded here...
the little wagon cart finished...
Steve worked hard getting all the rusty screws off...
what we started with...
weeds gone...
these are Doug's maples he planted when he was still in high school and lived at home...
got more to do...later...
