new additions...

well, yesterday was a roller coaster for me and my blood sugar, so I didn't get much done until after supper last night...
I finally found my netting that my bestie had given to me on my birthday a couple years ago...
Craig helped me hang it up...
I was saving it for this spot!

it will completely surround the napping area...
no flies up the nose again!

and I finally hung a plant inside this wonderful frame that DH bought for me a couple months ago...

it folds flat to store it, too...

the ferns are gone...
just watering twice a week to keep the root balls alive...
they announced last night on the news that we are now in a severe drought...
we were supposed to get rain starting in today...
but that changed sometime during the night...
we have a 10% chance now, and they have postponed it until tomorrow...
but next week looks more promising...
until they take it out of the forecast...

wonder who's under here????
can you guess????

why, its Mr Wiggles, of course...
all the cats like to hide under here...
but most of them get all of their body parts under it...

DH is happier than a pig in mud...
there is a pole light out by the road that we paid to have on for 17 years...
then last year it went out and we kind of liked the dark...
you can really see so many more stars without the light on, so I called and told them to take it down, we didn't want it anymore...
it was great when the kids were all at home and the neighbor kids still lived here...
gave them plenty of light to shoot hoops after dark and play out in the north lot...
but those days are gone...
so our neighbor across the street called them back and said she wanted the light back on...
and she paid for it for a year...
or so...
two nights ago, DH went to bed early...
and Craig and I went out after dark to go for our walk and the light was out...
it was great...
then yesterday we looked closer and its completely gone...
so DH had fun on the deck last night...
he's a star gazer...
Craig and I added a short string of icicle lights to the back of the deck along the bottom...
just enough light to walk around out there and not trip over the cats and dog...
he loves it...
I am still waiting on a few days of rain to see how it is when its dreary out there...
now that's my kind of fun!

have a great day...
