Morning chores:

Craig and Steve cutting out a walnut tree out of the ever green...
trimming pile...one of them...
this little tree was hanging too low to walk around it...
this is a dead branch in the hybrid popular in the south yard...
Craig and Spaz taking a break...
rose of sharon started blooming...
Craig's lavender...
the tomatoes out at the mother's garden is doing good...
those are lightening bugs...
the damage the Japanese beetles do to the ferns...we have pulled off so many the last few days...just drop them in a bucket of soapy water and they die...

Wonderful vintage seed pack and catalogs:




These are so colorful...who wouldn't want that growing in their yard?...I love old graphics and artwork...some of the best artists of the past did advertising...there is so much talent behind these...all by hand without computers...just think of the hours they took to create...
