To continue from the last post, we got 3 1/2" of rain the day after Easter (day Daddy came).
The water was really running at the front gate.
Daddy wanted to work so he and Kim trimmed trees and along the fence line.

hitching a ride back to the house
I was trying to take a picture of Kim and Daddy riding the 4 wheeler but Kim decided to act like he was going to run over me, so all I got was this blur...
...and the back of them as they went by.
There's a garden center in Decatur that Daddy has been wanting to take me to so we spent the afternoon there and did some more planting.
Daddy built the birdhouse years ago and made the cross recently. We brought the driftwood (on the second shelf) back from Washington.
For some reason I'm having trouble uploading pictures to the blog today so I'm going to call it quits for now.
Ok, I'm going to try this again (a week later) and hopefully have better luck.
I started unpacking the bins upstairs that go into my sewing/craft room. When I first went up there I was just overwhelmed. Kim said, "just open a bin and start." That's what I did.
It wasn't long before I had emptied 10 bins. Whew!
just getting started...
...almost done - just waiting on pegboard and some shelves for my project baskets (old wire baskets from a swimming pool).
Miz Lorraine is not going to fit in my sewing/craft room, so I will be getting rid of her.
as promised, a picture of granddaddy's lamp lit up
and a close up so you can see the rock slabs better
We kept Bailyn and Grady for a few days last week. Grady wanted to make cupcakes as soon as Bailyn went to school.
Tasting the batter
He wanted to use all the sprinkles and sugars I had, so we had falled (his word) leaves, valentine, Christmas, Easter and all colors of sugar.
making sure they are good enough to eat
after cupcakes, he went out to help Poppy

Unfortunately, my luck wasn't so good. It took 4 1/2 hours to upload 15 pictures. UGH!
Yeah! Loved seeing all the pictures even if it took so long to get them to cooperate! You guys had lots of rain! I bet Cowboy enjoyed the working partner, got twice as much done. All your potted plants look beautiful, finally got to use all those great pot holders you have collected. What will be the first sewing project? You two are doing a great job setting up your forever home. Love to you both - Cathie
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you're really getting settled in. I love your stained glass. All the plants are beautiful. I wish I had inherited some of Daddy's green thumb. Can't wait to see it all in person.
