SATURDAY MORNING CHORES: MY DAD AND STEP MOM ARE OK- GOT AN EMAIL FROM HER THIS MORNING...

THE OLD WASH TUB WAS IN MY GRANDMA'S BASEMENT- SHE USED IT TO SAVE WATER- SHE WOULD CATCH THE WASH WATER FROM HER WASHER IN HERE AND USE IT AGAIN FOR THE NEXT LOAD- SHE WAS A HOUSEWIFE DURING THE DEPRESSION- EVEN THOUGH HER WATER BILL WAS LESS THAN 5.00- SHE WOULD STILL DO THIS...
NOW I FILL IT WITH FLOWERS...

MY VIEW FROM MY KITCHEN WINDOWS...

HUMMING BIRD THAT TURNS DIFFERENT COLORS AFTER DARK...

THE FERNS ARE FROM MY MOM'S HOUSE...

HYDRANGIA- WE PLANTED THIS ABOUT 8 YEARS AGO- BETWEEN THE 5TH AND 6TH YEAR YOU HAVE TO CUT THEM ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE GROUND THAT FALL- THEN IT WILL COME BACK AND BUSH THICK...

WE STARTED WITH CLEANING OUT THE SHED- ALMOST EVERYTHING OUT AND THEN PUT IT ALL BACK IN- WELL NOT QUITE ALL- WE DUMPED ALOT OF BOXES AND JUNK...BUT WE CAN WALK IN NOW, EVEN OPEN THE DOORS WITHOUT EVERYTHING FALLING OUT...
