EARLY MORNING WEEDING:

SITTING ON THE GROUND- YOU GET A DIFFERENT VIEW:

LILIES NOT READY TO BLOOM YET:

I THINK WE NEED TO GET THE CLOTHES LINE OUT AND MAKE THE BRICK ROW A LITTLE STRAIGHTER:

BLUE SALVIA- ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS:

LOOKING UP:

STEVE AND I WALKED AROUND THE YARD THIS EVENING:

FROM THE BACK OF THE YARD LOOKING WEST:

THE FIELD BEHIND US- ONLY GROWING WEEDS BUT THE WATER HAS GONE DOWN:

NOTHING BUT WEEDS FOR MILES:

CRAIG HAD A HARD DAY AND ATE TOO MUCH FOR SUPPER

THE ROSE BUSH HAS BLOOMS ON IT:

FERNS THAT I GOT A START FROM MY MOM'S ABOUT 17-18 YEARS AGO- SURE DOESN'T SEEM LIKE IT WAS THAT LONG AGO:

THE LOTS ACROSS THE STREET JUST WENT UP FOR SALE:

FROM MY NEIGHBOR WHO IS SELLING THE LOTS AND HER HOUSE ON THE ASHMORE RD- AREN'T THEY PRETTY?

ONE OF THE BEDS THAT NEEDS DUG AND DIVIDED THIS YEAR- I USED TO HAVE 15 BEDS LIKE THIS BEFORE THE FLOOD- NOW WE ARE DOWN TO 7- THEY USED TO COME TO MY HOUSE AND CUT THEM FOR THE FLOWERS FOR GRADUATION, ALONG WITH THE FERNS:

DOOFY PLAYING FRISBY WITH THE PRINGLES LID:

COUSIN BILLY FROM KANSAS (STATE) CAME BY THIS AFTERNOON:

STEVE TRYING TO BE RELIVE A CHILDHOOD DREAM(EASY RIDER)...

CLOSE UP OF THE AGONY OF OLD AGE..

IT'S NOT RUNNING- NO TRAINING WHEELS...

THE REAL OWNER IN CONTROL...

WE HAD A NICE VISIT AND THEN ITS BACK TO MATTOON FOR HIM TO VISIT HIS MOM'S SIDE OF THE FAMILY...

SUNDAY FUN- INCLUDING A COOKOUT:

FILLING IN- NEED TO TRIM SOME LIMBS...

BACK SIDE OF THE RACK...

MOVED THIS TO A SUNNIER SPOT...

CRAIG THREW HIS SHOE AT ME AFTER I TOOK THIS- THEN WHEN HE MISSED HE WANTED ME TO THROW IT BACK SO HE COULD TRY AGAIN- LIKE I WAS BORN YESTERDAY...

CRAIG GOT PART OF THE YARD MOWED- THE VERY BACK IS STILL TOO WET...

THE SUN CAME OUT THIS MORNING AND IT LOOKS LIKE 10 DAYS WITHOUT RAIN TO COME...

CRAIG FOUND SOME INTERESTING THINGS LAYING AROUND TO FILL IN THE BOX THAT ROSIE BROUGHT ME ON HER SHOPPING TRIP TO PARIS... (PARIS ILLINOIS- THAT IS)...

SPRAY PAINT PROJECT- HAVE A BIGGER ONE TO DO BUT THE WIND IS A LITTLE TOO STRONG TODAY...

FINISHED AND HUNG BACK UP- IT WAS BLUE AND DIDN'T QUITE GO WITH ANYTHING..

AN OLD LADDER THAT HAD A BROKEN LEG- CRAIG TOOK THE MITER SAW AND CUT OFF ALL THE LEGS AND NOW ITS SHORTER BUT JUST THE RIGHT HEIGHT TO SET POTS ON..
