come see...

this is Friday night's fish dinner...
it was yummo...

and then yesterday, we got some photos of the mother's garden...
the dutch iris are so pretty...

we did not get this area finished...
it turned off hot and we needed to work in the shade...
by the time the shade came around, we were too pupt from finding other things to do..

these bulbs were planted last fall...

and I am going to add more to the other beds...

DH went to town yesterday and came home with this...
a yellow climbing rose...

the tag said it was pink...
but that sure looks yellow to me...
he said it was the only yellow one in a sea of pink...

more of these guys...

those are the 3 different colors that have come up...

yesterday was a hard day...
took all of this up and spread the black Preen no weed fabric and then put it all back...

this is just wonderful...
not much room left to stick anything in it...

and the rest are just a few photos I got just walking around...

we worked over here today...

onions are up!

and the rest of the flowers that we have are planted...

today we weeded over here...

and Craig pulled the magic tub out from under the deck...
and we washed all the fun things up and got those scattered about...

there's a special little guy going oui oui in the flowers again...
you'll have to come back tomorrow to see who I am talking about..
if you haven't figured it out already...

and I will show you the things that have been packed away for months...
and how the whole thing came out...

it is hot here...
and humid...
got the air on and the humidity is still 50% inside...
but we had a good day...
and it is looking better...
always more to do, you know...

did get a couple names for deck construction...
so will be giving them a call tomorrow and hopefully getting some estimates...
also have a couple looking for more bowling balls for me...
;)
you can never have too many of those...
well, maybe you can...
but I'm not there...
yet...

also, it was a good day to reflect...
being thankful...
and I am so going to miss my friends as they party on the other side...
and I know they are having the best time...
and they are meeting up with friends and loved ones who have been there for a long time...
kind, good souls are always missed on this side...
and they were both that indeed...
and thank you for all your prayers sent and your kind words...
peace to you...

what really matters...



there comes a time for everything in this world...
everything in our lives...
and some of that time is for waiting...
for trusting...

somewhere around the corner...
the answers await...

timing...
its all about timing...

storms come and storms go...
but there is shelter...
and there is peace...
until the storm passes...



lost another great lady here in our little town today...
found out she had cancer 2 months ago...
and today, she was set free...

she was a most talented painter...
we did shows together years ago...
she loved history...
and she was also my neighbor...
just a hop, skip and jump away...

her storm has passed and she is safe now...
away from all that caused pain...
sorrow...
but she will be missed...
greatly...

remember her family and others like them who are having to learn to let go...
who are in the middle of their storms...
who need the waves to calm and skies to clear...

its not easy being of this world...
but it will all be worth it...
