weeding in the afternoon...

I almost hated pulling this grass in front of the chippy old door...
reminds me of home on the farm...
there were always weeds around the barns and out buildings...

but they came out today...

this is a new, darker purple one...

and the yellow really glows like that in the sun...

and the iris are doing so good this year...

we stuck these little bulbs in here and there and they are just popping up every where...

so here is the main hired hand in progress...

as I sat here and pulled the grass...

had to get a couple shots before they were gone...
doesn't that say country to you?

these are going to be dark ones, too...

just pretty...
and its their first season here...

the first white one that bloomed is beginning to fade...

 
one of my favorite places in the yard...

and the weeds pile up fast...

soon to be...





ok, these are just fun...
Craig found them at a rummage sale and we painted them one color...
and they spin well...

almost finished...
and then he grabbed the camera...

for another senior moment...

the finished product...
the mulch is yet to come...
but I think we are about ready...

just wait until you see what I drug home from our walk tonight...
later...

"senior " photos...

been trying to take a good self photo this morning...
but no luck at all...
my arms are not long enough...
so Craig comes in and says he can do it...
says they look funny because they aren't natural...

so he takes 2 photos...
not bad...
better than what I did...
and I was pleased until he announced that he took my senior photos...
now with graduation upon us here in this tiny little town...
I am thinking great shots of a cute chick..
NO!
he says senior as in OLD...
to put on my application for the nursing home...
or if I get lost, to hand over to the cops so they can find me...

he thought it was funny...
I had to eat chocolate...
LOL

so there's your laugh for the day...
and my SENIOR photos...

have a good one...
