Night photos:
tried to get the lights in the back...
I haven't taken many photos at night...it was kind of fun...
we had a great night sitting and talking around the fire...I love just watching the flames...it's so calming...this was the part of camping that I miss the most...we should have done this 20 years ago...
Our new firepit:
re-purposed salt glazed cinder blocks...total cost...$0...
can't wait to use it...we need wood...ha...
steve finishing up...
the back of the pit...
we need more pebble gravel...and a fork or two...and a bag of marshmellows...along with some wood...Holiday weekend:
everything seems so peaceful this morning...
our sitting area...which is going to get a major makeover...but you'll have to keep watching to find out what's happening here...
little wren house...
this will be different too...
finally...sunshine...
growing stronger... my leftovers...never be afraid to by the sickly ones on clearance...they just take a little longer to get going...good dirt...loosen their root balls up...and then just water and dead head...remember my huge ever greens out front??? ...they were the sickly, after season $2 a pot at Kmart one year...they were only 6 inches tall when I bought them...right now you can get some really good deals on shrubs, bushes and trees...there's still plenty of growing time...give it a try...pinch it back but leave enough leaves to do the photo synthesis thing...it needs to feed the roots first...then watch it grow and enjoy it for many years to come...
the next project...
purple...
when I was watering I noticed the spider web...it had caught some of the drops...
we may move this out of here later on...
Bebe guarding the tomatoes...
this bed of iris is the next to be dug...waiting on the rain to come in and soften the ground up some...if you need iris...let me know...
pretty summer morning...we had coffee in the shade with a slight breeze...made plans for our next secret project...we are really excited about it...then Steve and Craig decided they would go into Harold's today and take him to Walmart to buy a new tv...he thinks his is going out...not sure if its the tv or the cable...Steve will be stressed out when he gets home...he will have to take his dad to Walmart and he will not use one of their scooters...electronics is in the back...it will be too much for him...but he is stubborn...if he doesn't fall he will be so tired when they get back...so this is not a fun day for Steve or Craig...then they will have to hook everything up...then probably another trip tomorrow because its new and he doesn't know how to operate it...the joy of aging parents...
