busy, busy, busy...

worked on the little bed in front of the shed this morning...

lavender in with the dusty miller...

rose moss...

still waiting on the dusty miller to bloom...

roses and columbine...

lavender started blooming this week...

yellow bird on the bird bath...

this all needs sanded at bit to rough it up some...

but this was the main reason I sat down out here today...

we got a "new" load of old bricks last night...

a guy DH works with was going to throw about 100 of them in the dumpster...

DH said whoa there, pardner...

and brought them home...

so reworked the old ones and double stacked the new ones...

hoping to keep the grass clippings out of the beds...

the BBQ chicken from Monday night was served again last night...

along with au gratin potatoes- homemade...

been busy...

construction guy came by right after lunch and will be starting on Tuesday after the holiday...

yesterday was spent clearing things out of their way...

pulling pavers...

stacking blocks...

hosing it all down and just cleaning the area up...

a tad more to go, but waiting for the mower guy to mow and then we can start pulling the tubs from underneath...

I have had really good days, so taking a slower one today...

sinuses are bothering me again...

we only got a tenth of rain the other night, so things are still dusty and full of pollen...

just got done puppy playing the neighbor dog...

she is gone today so Craig went over and snagged her out of her play pen...

Snikki and Bebe had a ball playing and then he took her back for nap time...

he will go get her out again about 3...

I just took an aspirin and heading for a nap...

have a great day!

wonderfully cool day here...

been trying to get the deck area cleared off and ready for the construction crew...

still waiting on the dusty miller to fully bloom...

its taking forever...

mums are blooming...

huh?

day lilies...

its not time!

spider wart...

there won't be anything left for summer!

my supper tonight...

DH went to Kroger last weekend...

had veggies on sale...

so I cleaned and cut...

washed and blanched...

stuck most in the freezer...

but these went with my supper tonight...

it was good...

the sun has been popping out here and there this afternoon...

low 70s...

a lot of breeze going on...

got the windows open...

will start heating up tomorrow...

then the rest of the 10 day forecast shows 90s all the way...

DH is grilling BBQ chicken on his new grill tonight...

taboo for me...

but there should be plenty of left overs for tomorrow night...

Craig and his buddy, Chris, are watching tv and I am working on laundry...

doing good on one pill a day...

hope I am getting this under control and can get off of it completely...

feel so much better just getting rid of the one pill...

can't wait to show off to the dr the next time I go!

You all have a peaceful evening...

another goodbye...

it seems like the icons of my childhood are leaving one by one...

I was in high school in the 70s...

when the Bee Gees were big in disco...

and their songs were playing on the radio when my girl friends and I cruised the main street back home...

and posters like this covered my walls...

and now there is only one left...

great brothers, great music and awesome harmony...

goodbye, Robin...

and peace to your family...

its been a good day...

well, downloaded a new collage program for a free trial...

it does it automatically...

I like to be in control, so won't be paying for it...

but here is today in a nutshell...

we puttered around all day...

DH made the dreaded Wally World run this afternoon and brought home Monical's Pizza for supper...

yummo...

I am very happy about getting down to one pill a day...

and not real sure I need that...

everything is staying low and level...

it was a little warmer out today, but bearable...

we did have the air on in here...

praying for rain...

got a chance tomorrow night through Monday night...

not a big chance, but we so need it...

the battery charger wasn't plugged in all the way, so the camera is down until morning...

glad I got some photos this morning while we were out watering...

tomorrow will be a moving day, and probably the rest of the week...

DH has a four day weekend coming up...

yippee...

perfect timing to get ready for the deck guys to come the week after and start hammering away...

I really want to get this done...

so many other things will happen and fall into place once that is up and going...

if I can drag my butt off of it long enough to do anything...

LOL

have a great night...

Mail Call...

I just wanted to share with you all this morning what I got in the mail this week...

its so exciting getting love packages in the mail from blogging sisters...

isn't this just the prettiest key chain you ever saw???

you won't believe what its made of!

colored pencils...

and in MY color, too!

and you know I love crosses...

this will be the perfect place to put all those store cards I have...

you know the ones, for extra savings...

Kroger, CVS and County Market are the ones I have and have been keeping them in my change purse...

the little ones are so small, I have been afraid of losing them forever in the bottom of that thing I call a purse...

the bottomless pit of junk I carry with me when we go somewhere...

the forbidden place where things disappear...

something like a magic hat...

things go in, but seldom return...

not anymore...

and the soap...

oh, the sweet smelling goat milk's soap...

hand made by Jettie herself...

the other bar smells like peaches and this one, well...

it just smells so good...

all kinds of scents going on there...

thank you, Jettie...

for the fab gifts and the smile that they brought...

you are so wonderful...

well, DH is working until noon today...

and I have yet to get my shower and get dressed...

so off I go so I don't scare the neighbors...

got some yard work to do if I can get Craiger moving...

have a fun weekend!
