took a very short drive last night...

the rest of our school is getting its new windows...
all classrooms will have ac now...

FFA have been planting things...

chamber bought new flower containers and the local green house donated the flowers to pretty up the downtown...

a wheat field, which is rare here...

Queen Ann's Lace...

and someone has a lose wire...
and its not me, for once...

very hot day here...
our low was 84 last night...
humid...
just nasty...
a very good day to stay inside...
;0)

got the smell of the first batch of home grown green beans going on...
with potatoes and bacon...
;0)

and it smells awesome...

my wish for you today:
something home grown

took a day to rest up...


this whole gardening thing is making me feel old...
;0)

so took an inside day to get caught up in here...
there is still plenty to do outside...
but we have all summer...
;o)

my wish for you today:
a moment to catch your breath...

another busy weekend...

we had a couple of very nice days this weekend...

to work and piddle fart around outside...

DH had a good father's day...

with both boys here and all the fur babies around...

Charlie and Mr Wiggles...
finally got the dog to sit still and the cat licks his butt...
figures...
I told him I was blogging that...

DH took Friday off, for three whole days with us...
well, except for seeing Cheap Trick and Stix on Friday night...
of which he had a fantastic time!

this is the latest project that we worked on...
Craig will bring mulch home tonight to fill it in...
DH's willow tree is in this, too...

I ended up with a pinched nerve in my neck for 2 days of this...
but we still got much done...

Charlie had a great time in the yard, off leash...
and he did so good!
2 whole days of staying with me and not running to the neighbor's...
I think he finally gets it...


happy father's day, goober...
ya know we love ya!

DH needed a profile photo for FB and his fantasy baseball league...
this is before his hair cut...
he's not so bushy anymore...
gosh, are we getting old...
;0)

my wish for you today...
peace and quiet after the weekend!

you can't beat 80s during the day...

and 60s at night...

everyone was here yesterday...

Edison lights...
found them at Walmart...
hung them over the picnic table...
they are not bright, bright...
they glow a more softer light...

this is done...
we will add more day lilies here as we clean out the beds and thin them down...
this should keep out the corn stalks if we get a lot of rain...

Doug and Paula are camping out behind the island...

DH had a great time at the concert...
Cheap Trick and Stix played at Champaign, Il last night...
he loved it...

more to do today...
not sure how much will get done, but we don't have to work as hard as yesterday...
;0)

my wish for your today:
glowing embers in your camp fire...
