this could be the end of me...

oh, what a day...
worked outside and on the computers...

got a new photo editor...
been looking at many this afternoon...

one that will run without freezing up...
and then went in and disabled chrome's shockwave...

you can't have 2 shockwaves running at the same time and the chrome browser comes with its own...
which you do not need...
aggravating...

but we did so limb cutting and hauling off...

oh, how things look when you are in the middle of something...

and when we hauled the limbs to the dump place...
we dug in the rubble and found some bricks...
just enough of these yellow ones to do some borders here...
got the yucca transplanted today...
and then I have planted onions, sweet peas and one hill of squash in here...
and holly hocks by the foot bridge...
it just takes time puttering around...
and now I am pupt...
we are doing leftover soup for supper...
so that will be easy...
I am ready for a shower and a nap...
but I think its too late for the nap...
;)
just hoping this is the last of the computer problems...
but probably not...
something new always comes along!

our evening at the park...

we had a good time and a good turn out for DH's company picnic...

we got there early so we could get me in with the chair...
but when we pulled the chair out of the back, the right front wheel was about to fall off...
so I waddled to the picnic area and stayed there...

we were there by 3:30 this afternoon and stayed until 7...

and here is what I got to play with...
this is the first time he saw me...
I don't think he was impressed...

and that is a cow ball that moos when you shake it...

of course DH likes babies, too...

we had rain all day until right before we left for there...
60 degrees...

I wore a sweat shirt and had a throw over my legs...

there was another baby there, too...

and this little guy kept coming out of the woods heading for the trash can...
but got scared half way there and headed back to hide awhile...
I am sure he is feasting now...

my new buddy, Eli...
10 1/2 months old...

on our way home...
everything is so green and filled in now...

on a rock pile at the township building just out of the park...
we had a good time and I can't wait to go back out there again in the chair and get down to the water...
think we will do a trail there, too...
DH told me on the way out there, that he would like to push me in a 5K someday...
can you imagine that?

the laptop is back up and running and I am so glad to be sitting here with it again...
oh, the things you get used to...
not sure what tomorrow is going to bring...
depends on the weather and such...
and how sore I am...
but I hope we do something fun for this one...
been working so hard for over a month now on the yard...

have a good weekend!
;)

still waiting on the rain...

there have been rain clouds all around  us...

but nothing here tonight...

Mr Wiggles doesn't need the rain on the tin roof to sleep...

parsley...

so we drug out the water hose and started in...

sure fire way to make it rain...

but everything is watered and a little more won't  hurt...

asian lilies are opening tonight...

hope you have a good night and the Lord send you what you need when you need it...
we will get ours in time...
heading out for another walk...
its a wonderful night...
;)

well, it only took an hour...

to get this post ready to go...

the last of the iris right before they were dead headed this morning...

and the last batch of columbine...

they will soon fade away and go to seed like the others...

but as one thing fades, something else is just about to open...

and then there are some things that bloom forever...

now, here is the scarecrow down the street with its hat on...

there haven't been many birds at the feeders this week...
and here's why...

you can hear them singing happily in the mulberries...
there are 3 trees here for them...

we need rain...
the poor peonies are starting to scorch...

but they are still pretty...

went for a walk this morning early...

and we added a couple things here...

the gloves are washed and ready to go for the weekend...

and I made this valance yesterday, too...
along with the cushion covers...

its 2 vintage pillow cases sewn together and hemmed on the sides...
didn't take long at all...
Cheryl, do you remember these?

well, I have sit here long enough so going to go find some trouble to get into...
Craig's friend just showed up...
so I might have extra labor...
if I'm lucky...
;)

its not been a good day...

we started out here this morning...
and we got it weeded again...

moved some things around...
took a bunch of great photos...

and then this happened...
right after lunch I dumped my kool aid on the keyboard of the laptop...
it is outside drying out...
hopefully it will work again...
until then, I will be very limited to posting...
and photos...
this old desk top is just so slow...
and I will have to share it...

so I got the sewing machine out...
and made cushion covers...
on side is like this...

and the other side is like this...
made it just like a pillow case so I can get them off easy to wash...
I have a tub of scraps over there and I am just going to start in and see what happens...
I am so stressed over the laptop...
I got about 8 minutes before the man shows up...
I am so going to get it...
pray for me...
and the laptop...
;(
