Gardening?


I have slowly gotten rid of some gardens
around the yard that tended to grow
more weeds than flowers....
and cause more work than they were worth.
This particular area should always be 
low maintenance....but fun.


(if you click on the picture, you can see things better)

At the left, you see my buckets.
I use them for all sorts of things,
and it's nice to know where they are when
I need them.
Do you spy a mouse?
The bird-bath was free
on FREE-CYCLE, years ago.
The yellow watering pot is full of rain-water.
See the blue truck?
The boys played with that truck
and I will keep it until
the wheels fall off.
James made me a couple of bird-feeders
from old purple posts and coffee pot parts.
Our first grand-son made the white bird-house.
There are a couple of old bird-cages, 
only good for yard art now....
and a pan of beautiful rocks.
There is a very healthy yellow
purse-lane flower growing in the middle
of a cinder block.
And.......
what are the oranges and limes for?
Target practice.

My Favorite Child

I wish I had all the pictures I wanted, to go with this blog post........because I know a *picture paints a thousand words*, but for a large part of our family's life, old fashion cameras and old fashion pictures were being used.  So, many of the pictures that would help paint this post are somewhere in boxes and books.  It would take a month of Sundays to find them all so  I will just have to count on your imagination and my memory! FAVORITE: most liked, preferred above all others Sara, you were my favorite.  You were our first baby and we were so excited for you.  Your hair was perfect for me to learn how to braid and you always were very still for me.  You were the first little girl I got to dress up and put lacy socks on.  You were such a fun little girl to read to.  You memorized the books we had and it was a big part of our day to read with each other.  *where is the bear when the wind blows cold?*.    You have alw...
